Summary: This paper analyzes the choice of court rules as a ground of international jurisdiction in matters relating maintenance obligations from a European Union Member State’s court perspective. Study of the rules governing the choice of court clauses in favor of a member state’s court contained in the current Council Regulation (EC) n. 4/2009 of 18 December 2008 on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions and cooperation in matters relating to maintenance obligations. Express choice of court agreement: restrictive nature and prohibition of the exercise regarding minors under 18. And analysis of jurisdiction based on the defendant’s appearance, conflictive in disputes relating to maintenance obligations towards a child under that age. Study of choice of court clauses in favor of a third State court, a situation not regulated by Regulation 4/2009, putting at legal risk certainty. And the study of choice of court clauses in favor of an EFTA State court is only bound by the Lugano Convention on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters on 30 October 2007, unilaterally ruled by Regulation 4/2009. Whose necessary integration with the general rules of this Convention generates many conflictive situations.
