Judgments and decisions in matrimonial matters, parental responsibility and maintenance obligations

This procedure concerns the rules for bilateral agreements between EU Member States and non-EU countries regarding the recognition and enforcement of court judgments. It specifically focuses on family law matters, such as divorce, parental responsibility, and child support payments.

This affects citizens involved in cross-border family disputes, ensuring that court decisions made in one country are legally recognized and enforceable in another to protect the rights of parents and children.
