title: Ordinance on the safeguarding of support claims, 19 May 1988.
abstract: This Ordinance of the German Democratic Republic is designed to help persons obtain support owed to them.  It establishes a duty of providing information on significant changes with respect to one's achievements or needs for both the person providing support and the person receiving it.  Places of employment are required to work towards having their employees provide the necessary information.  The Ordinance also establishes a new procedure by which a person can obtain free help from the secretary of the local court in acquiring information, rather than bring a law suit, and sets forth rules on how children can obtain from the State support that has not been paid to them by persons required to provide it.
