Individuals or legal entities providing support services regularly submit reports to the court detailing their personal and financial circumstances, as stipulated in the agreed-upon support measures. This serves as a way to explain how the support is being provided. This information is included in the judicial proceedings, which are separate from the main support provision process. Therefore, this is the appropriate forum to report any relevant circumstances related to the implementation of the support measures.
