On Tuesday, 6 June 2017, the Republic of Kazakhstan deposited the instrument of accession to the Hague Convention of 23 November 2007 on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance (2007 Child Support Convention). The Convention will enter into force for Kazakhstan on 14 June 2019. With Kazakhstan’s accession, there are now 38 States and one Regional Economic Integration Organisation that have either signed, ratified or acceded to the 2007 Child Support Convention.
