The Family Procedure (Amendment No. 4) Rules 2012

These Rules amend the Family Procedure Rules 2010 (“the FPR 2010”) to take account of the application of the Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and other forms of Family Maintenance done at The Hague on 23 November 2007 (“the 2007 Hague Convention”) in England and Wales.
