The United States deposited its instrument of ratification for the Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance (the Convention) in September 2016. The Convention entered into force for the United States several months later. Ratification was facilitated by the passage of novel federal implementing legislation that—rather than directly mandating alterations to the domestic legal structure—created a financial incentive for states to change their child support laws. While the Idaho legislature displayed some initial resistance, by early 2016 all fifty states had changed the relevant laws, enabling the submission of U.S. ratification.
