INTERNATIONAL NETWORK "Child Support Worldwide"
“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).

“For over 100 years the Institute is helping children to enforce their claims to maintenance abroad. We are expecting some progress in this area with the relatively new legal framework.“

“On 23 November 2007, the day the Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support was adopted, the world grew smaller for parents living abroad who do not pay their child support.” William Duncan, former Deputy Secretary General, HccH
“By borrowing from the best national child support systems around the globe, it is hoped that the new binding international framework for the cross-border recovery of child support will invite legal and administrative reforms in States whose systems are in need of improvement and modernisation.” Philippe Lortie, First Secretary, HccH
“The new binding international framework for the cross-border recovery of child support will benefit millions of children around the world and will relieve governments from social welfare assistance payments, as children’s primary financial needs will from now on be covered by parents paying child support owed to their children – this is clearly a win-win situation for children, many parents and governments.” Maja Groff, Legal Officer, HccH
