• Acknowledgement of maternity
• Joint declaration of custody (if the parents are not married to each other)

The above mentioned documents can be recorded even before the child is born.

• Letter from the youth welfare office/lawyer in which the amount of maintenance has been determined (in the case of maintenance obligation certificates)

Negative certificate (confirmation of the mother's sole custody)

The Youth Welfare Office at the mother's place of residence is responsible for issuing the negative certificate.

The prerequisite is,

• the parents have never been married to each other
• no joint declaration of custody has been certified
• there is no custody order

The negative certificate can be requested by telephone or in person.

Who is entitled to maintenance payments under the Advance Maintenance Payments Act (Unterhaltsvorschussgesetz - UVG)?

• has not yet reached the age of 18, whereby additional requirements must be met from the age of 12,
• has a residence or habitual abode in Germany,
• lives here with a single parent, and
• does not receive, or only partially receives, or does not regularly receive maintenance from the other parent in the amount of the relevant standard amount according to the Standard Amount Ordinance (Regelbetragsverordnung).

For a claim from the age of 12, one of the following two conditions (shown here in simplified form) must be met:

1. the child does not receive benefits according to the Second Book of the Social Code or the child's need for assistance can be avoided by the advance maintenance payment, or
2. the single parent has income of at least 600 euros, with the exception of child benefit.

How much is the advance maintenance payment?

For children from 0 - 5 years: 150,00 Euro monthly.

For children from 6 - 11 years: 202,00 Euro monthly.

For children from 12 - 17 years: 272,00 Euro monthly.

When is the entitlement excluded?

Entitlement to the advance maintenance payment is excluded if

• the applicant parent refuses to provide information about the parent liable to pay,
• the applicant parent refuses to cooperate in establishing the paternity or residence of the other parent,
• the other parent has paid maintenance at least equal to the amount of the advance maintenance payment.

Does the other parent now not have to pay child support?

The other parent (who is liable for maintenance) should not be relieved if the state pays advance maintenance to the child. Therefore, any child support claims the child may have against the other parent are transferred to the state in the amount of the advance child support payment.

What do you have to do to receive advance maintenance payments?

You must apply in writing for benefits under the Advance Maintenance Payments Act (Unterhaltsvorschussgesetz, UVG). The application must be submitted to the responsible child support advance office - usually the responsible youth welfare office. The responsible youth welfare office is the one in whose district the child lives.

A printed copy of the application form is available from us. Please bring the birth certificate of the respective child and your identity card with you to the application. If you have recently separated from the father/mother and are now living in separate apartments, please also bring your confirmation of re-registration. Alternatively, you can download the form.

If your child has already reached the age of 12, you will also need to provide some additional information. You can find the form here. From the age of 15, please also submit a school certificate together with the application.

If a lawyer is already working on your case, please bring the correspondence you have had so far.

If there is already a maintenance order, please also bring this with you.

Further information on the law of parent and child can be found in the brochure of the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection.
