Procedure details
Description
Mothers and fathers who are the sole carers of a child or young person (single parents) are entitled to advice and support in the exercise of personal care, including the assertion of child maintenance claims.
The counseling is intended to help the single parent solve educational, legal and economic problems (e.g. resolving conflicts with the other parent, mediating disputes about access rights, advising on child maintenance claims and ways of enforcing such claims). Children who have reached the age of majority have their own right to advice and support in asserting maintenance claims.
In order to establish paternity and assert maintenance claims of the minor child, a guardianship can also be applied for at the youth welfare office (see under "Related topics").
The parent is also entitled to advice on asserting their own maintenance claims on the occasion of the birth.
