Alimony Payment

According to the Alimony Payment Act the state grants advances on the statutory maintenance of children and spouses, provided that the legal requirements are met 

The Courts of Justice shall decide on the granting of advances.

The maintenance debtors are obliged to repay the maintenance contributions advanced by the state. The Office of Finance is responsible for both the payment and collection of the advances.

The advance maintenance payments are transferred on the last working day of each month at the latest. At the end of the period for which an alimony was granted in accordance with the Court of Justice's decision, payments will be discontinued unless the Office of Finance has received a new decision from the Court of Justice by this time. It is the responsibility of the alimony beneficiary to apply to the Court of Justice for an extension of the alimony in good time. Payments can only be made once the Office of Finance has received bank details for the beneficiary in accordance with the order. In order to avoid delays in payment, bank details must already be stated in the corresponding application to the Court of Justice
