Have maintenance claims notarized

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

Parents are obliged to pay maintenance to their children. The parent who does not live in the same household as the child must pay maintenance in cash. This is also known as cash maintenance.
The amount of these payments depends on the income and financial circumstances and can be determined by the youth welfare office or lawyers, for example. Maintenance is based on the so-called Düsseldorf table. This table is published annually by the Senate for Family Matters of the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court.

Ideally, you as parents should agree on the amount to be paid as maintenance.

The parent who has to pay maintenance can have the maintenance obligation fixed. This is done in the form of a special deed by the notary at the youth welfare office. This special document is called a maintenance obligation certificate. If the maintenance is not paid, an application for enforcement can be made immediately to the competent district court on the basis of the maintenance deed.

As a rule, the child's maintenance claim is set out in a so-called dynamic maintenance title. However, it is also possible to determine maintenance in the form of a static deed (constant fixed amount).

Your child has a legal right to a maintenance order. If no maintenance order is presented, the child can submit a corresponding application to the family court.

The court proceedings involve costs and fees.
