Finally, this paper presents a conclusion of this study. The contents of the chapters are elaborated below. Chapter I deals with the motive and objective of study, research methods, and the proposition of the scope and the issues concerned, and the overview of this paper. In this chapter, the reason for research and the objective intended to be accomplished will be presented. Issues confronting the claim for financial support in favor of underage children will also be addressed for giving an idea on the controversy. In Chapter II, the concept of parents and children will be addressed in order to differentiate this concept from financial support obligation. In this context, it would be necessary to examine the right of the “underage children to claim financial support from the parents” and the sources of such rights. Further, the means of claiming for financial support in favor of underage children will be the gravity of this chapter. Civil cases can be classified into litigation and non-contentious matters. In Chapter III, the procedure and principle of trial will be discussed. At the same time, the interpretation and application of Article 572-1 of the Civil Procedure Act and Article 127 of the Non-Contentious Matters Act will also be addressed. The summary proceeding of child support practiced in Germany will be introduced in this Chapter too. In Chapter IV, the issues confronting the practice of the topic of this paper will be explored with the introduction of related rules and regulations under the Civil Code of Germany as reference for the Republic of China in the practice of its Civil Code. In Chapter V, the preservation and execution of the claim for financial support in favor of underage children will be discussed in detail. The difference between the preservation of child support under Article 579 of the Civil Procedure Act and Article 124 of the Non-Contentious Matters Act will be compelled to be clarified here. The aspect of the power of court ruling and the execution of court ruling will be discussed in terms of the explicit code of Non-Contentious Matters Act and the supplementary claim under Civil Procedure Act separately. The Family Tribunal Law was passed in December 2011. This is a milestone in substantive law and litigation law. Chapter VI will give weight on the discussion of the content of this new law. Related clauses in the law will also be examined in this paper for reference. In the conclusion, the shortcomings detected in this topic will be subject to review as the insight of this paper with a view to contributing to the solution of the issue of the claim for financial support in favor of underage children.
