International families
maintenance when a parent works and lives in another country
Comparing income between parents who live in different countries also requires knowing their expenses, charges and documentation. This response discussed the ability to pay maintenance and a contact schedule was proposed that took into account the distance and cost of travel.
The salary did not explain the whole situation
The parent who opposed civil claim He provided payroll, tax documentation, rent and other supporting documents to defend that his disposable income was less than what was attributed to him. He also alleged that he was taking care of the needs of another son.
The comparison had to avoid both showing off wealth by working abroad and accepting all declared expenses without review. A rental or family help requires proof and context. Similarly, income and resources of the other party had to be accredited, without replacing them with estimates or announcements from third parties.
Contact and travel were part of the proposal
The letter requested visiting periods with prior notice and vacation stays, as well as remote communications. It proposed dividing certain routes between the parents to make family relationships possible.
It was not enough to set days: it was necessary to know flights or transportation, accompaniment, documents and who would buy and pay for the tickets. A calendar that cannot be sustained economically or materially runs the risk of not being met, even if it seems broad on paper.
Foreign documentation and scope of consent
The response also discussed the scope of a previous transfer authorization. A specific authorization requires analyzing its purpose and conditions; should not automatically be interpreted as indefinite consent to any change of residence.
To prepare the consultation, it is advisable to gather the resolutions, complete authorizations, tests of income and expenses and translations when appropriate. In addition, applicable international competition and regulations must be studied. The article focuses on the proposal and the arguments of the document, without stating that the transfer was illicit or that the amounts offered were those finally established.
