csa from another country

Hi I'm just looking into getting child support from someone who does not live in England. I have been previously informed (on here) that it would have to go through court (sorry can't remember exactly what it is called)

I was just having a little read of the CSA's website and found this..

When the non-resident parent lives in the European Union
From 18 June 2011, countries in the European Union (EU) must enforce:
court orders for child maintenance
decisions made by the CSA
This means that formal legal arrangements (for example court orders) for regular child maintenance payments can be enforced if any of the following apply:
the non-resident parent now lives in the EU and the parent with care lives in the UK
the parent with care now lives in the EU and the non-resident parent lives in the UK
the non-resident parent has valuable assets located in the EU - for example, property cars or money

So if this person was American residing in the EU (Germany) would they fall into this bracket?

Thanks in advance
