About this statute

This provision states that Law 449 of 1998 approves the Inter-American Convention on Support Obligations. La Convención fija qué derecho aplica a las obligaciones alimentarias y a la cooperación y competencia procesal internacional, y permite a los Estados limitarla a alimentos de menores. For this Convention, a minor means a person under 18. Its benefits also extend to a person who is over 18 but still entitled to maintenance payments under applicable law. Los Estados pueden declarar que la Convención se aplicará a ciertas obligaciones alimentarias y definir qué parentesco o vínculos legales determinan quién es acreedor o deudor de alimentos. Toda persona tiene derecho a recibir alimentos, sin discriminación.
