The material scope of the Maintenance Regulation, the 2007 Hague Convention and the 2007 Hague Protocol
It should be highlighted that the Convention follows the principle of reciprocity regarding the material scope, i.e. where a Contracting State limits the application of the Convention this State is not entitled to claim the application of the Convention to persons of the age excluded by its reservation (Article 2(2)) and where a Contracting State declares an extension of the Convention’s application, the declaration will only give rise to obligations between two Contracting States in so far as their declarations cover the same maintenance obligations and parts of the Convention (Article 2(3)).
