As the Deputy is aware, it is not possible for me to comment or intervene in any way in relation to how particular proceedings in another jurisdiction are conducted or on the outcome of those proceedings.
While the Central Authority for maintenance recovery from abroad is located within my Department, they are unfortunately not able to assist with this case as Canada has not ratified the 2007 Hague Convention for Maintenance Recovery and is not a signatory for the 1956 UN Convention on the Recovery Abroad of Maintenance. As a result the Central Authority are unable to make an application to recover maintenance from Canada.
