The child’s right to financial support is one of the most important legal obligations of a parent. However, in practice, it often happens that the parent responsible for paying child support avoids this duty or pays irregularly.
Such situations create emotional and financial stress for the parent who provides daily care, especially when the costs of raising a child are increasing — both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and among families living or working in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and across the diaspora.
