Our lawyers and attorneys will be happy to assist you with advice regarding CHILD SUPPORT FOR AN ADULT CHILD, whether it concerns an increase or, conversely, a reduction. Ideally, we will draft a child support agreement for you. If an agreement is not possible, we will draft a petition for the determination, increase, or reduction of child support for the court. We will also be pleased to represent you in court if you wish. We can be consulted by the adult child themselves, their parent, or another relative.
Until when must a parent pay child support for an adult child?
- There is no age limit of 18 or 26 years.
- A parent must pay until the child is able to support themselves (i.e., they are studying, or if they are long-term ill or injured). This does not apply in the case of the child’s marriage, in which case the new spouse is obliged to provide support.
How is child support for an adult child determined?
A – by agreement between the parent and the child
B – by court decision based on a petition by the adult child
On what basis does the court determine the amount of child support?
In practice, courts primarily rely on the recommendation tables of the Ministry of Justice – link here. Many other factors influence the amount of child support. For example, the income of the parent’s new partner if they share a household, the parent’s assets, income from business or rent, or the justified needs of the child.
What is the procedure?
We will study your case, advise you on the necessary documentation, draft the required petitions and statements for the court, and represent you there. If necessary, we will subsequently ensure the recovery of child support through execution; for chronic non-payers, we will draft a criminal complaint for you.
