Child Support Convention; Federally
Approved Forms.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: On January 1, 2017, the
2007 Hague Convention on the
International Recovery of Child Support
and Other Forms of Family Maintenance
will enter into force for the United
States. This Convention contains
groundbreaking provisions that, for the
first time on a worldwide scale, will
establish uniform, simple, fast, and
inexpensive procedures for the
processing of international child
support cases. Once the Convention is
in effect, U.S. states will process child
support cases with other countries that
have ratified the Convention under the
requirements of the Convention and
Article 7 of the Uniform Interstate
Family Support Act (UIFSA 2008). In
order to comply with the Convention,
the U.S. must implement the
Convention’s case processing forms.
State and Federal law require states to
use Federally-approved case processing
forms. Section 311(b) of UIFSA 2008,
which has been enacted by all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands, requires
States to use forms mandated by Federal
law. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires child
