Hague Convention on International Child Support

The Hague Convention on International Child Support is an international agreement aimed at ensuring that parents provide financial support for their children across national borders. It establishes processes for establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support obligations when parents live in different countries. The convention facilitates cooperation among countries, allowing for smoother communication and legal procedures to ensure that children receive the financial support they need, regardless of where their parents reside. This helps to prevent situations where one parent avoids support obligations by living abroad.
