Model Law on International Child Support

The Model Law on International Child Support provides a standardized framework to enforce child support obligations across different countries. It ensures that parents pay court-ordered support regardless of where they or the child are located. The law simplifies cooperation between nations, making it easier for custodial parents to receive consistent payments and for courts to recognize and enforce support orders from abroad. Its goal is to protect children's financial needs universally, promoting fairness and stability across borders in international child support cases.
