INTERNATIONAL NETWORK
“Child Support Worldwide" is a global expert network in the field of international recovery of child maintenance which aims at optimizing the implementation of the international legal instruments through a regular exchange of experience and knowledge. It is the goal of the experts and their cross-border cooperation to contribute to an effective and worldwide realization of the right of every child to maintenance, adequate for the child's physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development (Art. 27 of the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child).
This website, which is still under construction, is meant to serve the network as a platform for exchange/reference point as well as to provide those who are in any way involved in the international recovery of child maintenance with helpful information. This is a “joint project” that could only come into being and grow through global solidarity as well as the worldwide and tireless commitment of experts from all professional sectors; we hope that it will go on exactly that way and are looking forward to your input and contributions!
The Newsletter "Child Support Worldwide" informs you regularly about news in the field of international maintenance recovery and the network.
Please send an e-mail to childsupport@dijuf.de if you wish to receive the newsletter.
