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).

[Target: Prenatal] Pregnancy, especially the early stages, is an important time for maintaining the health of the mother as well as the baby's growth. However, it can be difficult to tell from appearance whether a woman is pregnant or not, and some women may have "painful symptoms." Fukuoka City is promoting the creation of a friendly environment for pregnant women, and has created maternity mark keychains so that women can casually let others know that they are pregnant on public transport or at work. If you are visiting an obstetrician-gynecologist in Fukuoka City, you can receive the keychain along with your Maternal and Child Health Handbook at that obstetrician-gynecologist, or at the Health Department of each ward's Health and Welfare Center if not. If you see a pregnant woman wearing this mark in your city or workplace, please be considerate and give her your seat on the train or bus.
