article in the legal journal Togas.biz, in which our managing partner discusses the enforcement of court decisions on maintenance obligations within the EU legal framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When making decisions in divorce proceedings, or in a family dispute concerning entitlement to financial support between relatives, it is important to bear in mind that, if the maintenance debtor resides in another EU Member State, we must know how to enforce that decision, court settlement or authentic instrument, and recover the amount owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are pleased to announce that today, <em>Togas.biz<\/em> legal journal has published a new article authored by our <strong>Managing Partner<\/strong>, addressing a key topic in cross-border family law:<br>\ud83d\udd0d <strong>The enforcement of judicial decisions on maintenance obligations within the EU legal framework.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When navigating a <strong>divorce proceeding<\/strong> or any <strong>family-related dispute involving financial support between relatives<\/strong>, it is essential to consider that, if the <strong>debtor resides in another EU Member State<\/strong>, specific legal instruments allow for the <strong>enforcement and recovery<\/strong> of the debt arising from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a judicial decision,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a court settlement, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an authentic instrument.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding these procedures is crucial to ensuring the effective protection of maintenance rights across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
