Child maintenance and expenses
Recognising an English maintenance judgment in Spain
The issue and the court’s approach
Recognition was examined under the 2007 Hague Convention. The court found neither incompatibility with later Spanish interim measures nor denial of defence; the capitalised maintenance award was justified by the children’s needs and established non-compliance.
