Notarisation of maintenance claims

Does your child not live with both parents in the same household? Then he or she is entitled to "cash maintenance" from the parent living away from the household.

Advise adults (under 21 years of age) on maintenance issues

Adults who are unable to fully cover their maintenance needs from their own resources may be entitled to maintenance from both parents
