What happens to alimony when a child turns 18?
Questioner
Hello, Next year I will be 18 years old. I will still be in havo 5. This means that I cannot apply for student finance. My parents are divorced, my mother receives alimony from my father. I do not live with them at home and receive 175 euros per month to pay for clothes and a subscription. I do not have good contact with my parents and therefore no financial support when I am 18. What happens to the alimony and child benefit that my mother receives when I turn 18?Lawyer
Ir/Madam , The amount first determined by the court must also be paid after the child has reached the age of majority. If there are changed circumstances, the court may decide otherwise. Do you have any questions? Please feel free to ask. Yours sincerelyLawyer
The alimony that your father is now paying to your mother, will have to be paid to you by your father from the moment you turn 18. The obligation to pay alimony runs until the moment you turn 21. Child benefit will be cancelled. If payment is not made, you can contact the LBIO free of charge. They will then take over the collection of the alimony for you.Neem de volgende stap
