Can a child support agreement be enforced abroad?

My Muslim husband left my children here in Oklahoma City and moved back to Morocco. Before he left he signed an agreement stating he would pay $750 per month for child support. He paid the first two months after he left and has not paid since. I do know where he is living and have considered contacting his family to see if they will encourage him to honor his agreement to our children. If his family cannot help, is it possible to enforce the agreement he signed against him in Morocco? Does the U.S. cooperate with child support agencies abroad to collect support? If this is possible, what do I need to do to start the process and will I need a lawyer to represent me? If I have to retain a lawyer, can my husband be required to pay any of the legal fees for my representation?
