Abstract
In the paper, the author starts from the constitutional and international-law obligation of the state to ensure a dignified life and guaranteed life standard to children in case of the lack of family-law support. The paper presents the measures of the family law and social security law which are envisioned de lege lata in the Republic of Croatia as the substitutes in case of the lack of family-law support of the children, as well as their conceptual division. In some European countries, the problem of the parental failure to pay the support is solved through the payment of the advance from specially established funds. The institute of advance for the support is comparatively presented in the paper, and based on the described European solutions and referring to the Council of Europe Recommendation on the Advance for the Support, a de lege ferenda solution is offered for the Republic of Croatia.
