The Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies postponed for two weeks the vote on a controversial bill that would automatically extinguish the obligation to pay child support when the child turns 18, without the need for a court decision. The proposal, authored by Cartist deputies Jatar Fernández and Hugo Meza, sparked strong reactions from opposition lawmakers and thematic committees, who consider it a setback for children's and adolescents' rights.
