Chinese laws should be applied in dealing with the problem of child support in the foreign-related divorce. According to the relevant provisions of the Marriage Law of China, the problem should be handled proceeding from the earnest protection of the rights and interests of the child, being beneficial to the physical and mental health and development of the child, and combining with the specific circumstances of both parties. In handling the problem, it is better to solicit and respect the opinion of the child as to whether he/she would prefer to live with the father or mother in advance if the child possesses the ability to identify.
