Definately contact the child support office where you live to see what you need to do to set up payments for your daughters. If you don't know an attorney or can't afford one, see if the child support office can reccommend someone for you. Don't take your kids out of the country without legal advice. If you want to set up regular visitations, mention that to the attorney as well.

The first place to begin is with the Child support office in oyur local county of the state that you live in. Secondly You should consider seeking legal advice from an attorney on the matter of taking the children out of country, even if it is for a vacation. There may be laws that you are not aware of that will hinder you, or even cause you to lose custody of your children because of your out of country departure.
When all else fails, ask an attorney that you know and trust.
