What is their reach.?

A.... Do they chase absent fathers beyond the borders of these sacred isles?
B... Would the CSA make an Englishman liable for a Brazilian child?
C.. Would the CSA make an Englishman liable for a Kenyan child?
D.. Would the CSA make an Englishman liable for a Scottish child?




My pal is more than happy to pay for his offsprings quality of life....etc..

but ...

What is their reach? and what is enforceable?
From recollection, they can only become involved if the child is a british citizen. They can't chase outside of the country, but on re-entering the UK you can be arrested and taken to court to pay the backdated payments.

I'm happy to be corrected on the above points, but that was my (admittidly very vague) idea of how they worked.
