An online seminar on child consultation center operations will be held. If you are interested in the work of the Fukuoka City Child Consultation Center, please join us.

A consultation service will be established within the Youth Support Hub to facilitate interaction among caregivers (those with experience in social care, etc.) and provide support for their independence.

Fukuoka City will set up "Local Child-rearing Consultation Desks" at child plazas and daycare centers to provide advice and information on child-rearing in familiar locations where children and their families can easily drop in. Please feel free to consult us about anything, such as child growth and development, or how to interact with children!

Counselors with qualifications such as clinical psychologists will answer any questions about child-rearing from families, such as concerns about child-rearing, development, or disabilities. Consultations are conducted face-to-face, so prior reservations are required.

Regarding child support: When a couple with minor children divorces, one parent will be designated as the guardian. The guardian is responsible for custody and upbringing of the child, providing daily care and education. They also manage the child's property and make consents to the child's legal actions. On the other hand, the non-guardian parent cannot escape responsibility for the child's upbringing just because they do not have custody. Even a non-guardian parent is still a parent and must share the responsibility of raising the child. New rules for custody, child support, parent-child interaction, etc. On May 17, 2024, a law was enacted to amend the Civil Code and other laws to ensure the interests of children after their parents divorce. This law clarifies the responsibilities of parents regarding child rearing and revises provisions regarding custody, child support, parent-child interaction, etc., and will come into effect in 2026 (Reiwa 8).
