I am moving to Canada with my Fiance and I am wondering how child support is enforced if I am not living in the country? The support order is in NY state.

Re: Child support
NY child support orders are generally enforceable and collectible in Canada, in the same way they are enforceable and collectible in USA states, based upon Canada's Child Support Laws application of Child Support "reciprocity."
Good luck,
