The maintenance advance is regulated in the Maintenance Advance Act (UhVorschG).
What is maintenance advance?
Maintenance advance is a special family benefit for children of single parents. Single parents who do not receive any or regular maintenance for their child can apply for maintenance advance. This is an advance payment for missing maintenance payments from the other parent.
If it would actually be possible for the other parent to pay maintenance, the state reclaims the maintenance advance paid.
How much is the maintenance advance?
The amount of the maintenance advance depends on the age of the child and since January 1, 2022 (after deduction of child benefit) is as follows per month
- for children aged 0 to 5 up to EUR 177,
- for children from 6 to 11 years up to EUR 236,
