Child Support Changes: Discover Your Options

Questioner

Hello, I just read an article in the newspaper about changes to child support (Supreme Court ruling), that the child-related budget has been increased as of 1-1-2015 for children up to the age of 18, which means that child support will be lower or even completely eliminated. Now the relationship between my ex and me is not very good, how can I find out whether she also receives this allowance? Thank you in advance!

write to her and ask what her income is so that you can calculate for yourself whether she has a higher child-related budget. If she is single with children, that chance is very high. This can be a reason to request a change in the KAL.

If your ex refuses to cooperate with your written request for information, it may be wise to hire a lawyer or mediator who can then write to her with the same request. This will often be responded to. If there is no response, it can be discussed whether it makes sense to start legal proceedings to have the child support imposed on you nullified or reduced. If you wish, you can contact me.
