Collection of maintenance
Service description
Parents are obliged to support their children. If a parent does not live in the same household as their child, they are obliged to pay maintenance in cash. However, this parent does not always do so. There can be various reasons for this. For those affected, the question arises as to how they can proceed.
A child has a legal right to maintenance. The youth welfare office, in the form of guardianship, can advise children and their affected parent and support them in asserting their claim.
For example, the guardianship can help to determine the amount of maintenance payments and possibly also draw up a title for this purpose, with which the maintenance can be enforced.
However, the measures to be taken are always individual and can be discussed in a personal consultation.
