Improvement of Awareness and Relationship Support

The necessity to execute child support is increased among non-custodial and custodial parents and their children. Cooperative awareness for child rearing is shared, all to increase positive awareness of the child support execution and its relevant systems. This enhances the national awareness that ‘the responsibility to rear a child’ and ‘execution of rearing cost’ is more than necessary. Also, in order to ensure voluntary execution of child support, there will be programs to execute child support for non-custodial parents and their children.

Activities
  • Development of a handbook for custodian parents
  • Development of a handbook for unmarried parents

External cooperation

Education to better implementation

The education for improvement of implementation is carried out to increase social awareness that parental duty to support children must be kept. To ensure stable provision of child support system and services, the demanding side covering single parents and others will benefit from forums, briefing sessions, training, understanding and legal approaches tailored to meet the needs of the demanding side. This also strengthens access and understanding of the systems.
