(Art 18 EGBGB; Appendix I, II, III to Article 18; Preliminary Remarks to Article 19. International Law of Maintenance, International Children's Law 1) International Maintenance Law for cases with foreign connections is very important due to the large number of foreign fellow-citizens living in Germany. This volume updates the legal position. In particular it traces the amendments in Turkish maintenance law. It also follows the developments in domestic and foreign maintenance agreements from The Hague. One highlight in the detail is for example in the question of whether for post-marital maintenance a choice of legal system is possible. International Maintenance Procedural Law is explained in detail in Appendix III to Article 18, in which the user is securely guided through the confusing situation of different legal sources. In the foreground there is a detailed commentary on the two Maintenance Enforcement Agreements from The Hague, the UN Agreement for the enforcement of maintenance claims abroad and the appropriate standards of European Civil Proceedings Law. The preliminary remarks to Article 19 are devoted to the International Children's Law Agreement and to EC-Regulations. In the preliminary remarks "A" the order of precedence of the legal sources and the interpretation principles are presented. Preliminary Remarks "B" describe all the details (also from a legally comparative point of view) of the important Hague Minor Protection Agreement passed in 1961. This is the most thorough commentary of this agreement in the German-speaking countries which in the revised edition also considers the fundamental amendments due to the reform of the children's law.
