Claim separation maintenance
Description
If you are unable to agree on an appropriate amount of maintenance with your (spouse) partner living in separation, you can assert your claim for separation maintenance in court. The conduct of such legal proceedings is essentially governed by the rules applicable to civil proceedings.
The separation maintenance claim is calculated according to the recognized principles of the calculation of maintenance, which fill in the indefinite legal terms of the maintenance right. For details, please contact a lawyer.
Further information can also be found in the maintenance guidelines of the Higher Regional Courts.
A separation maintenance claim presupposes in principle that
- the spouses or partners live separately,
- the need for marital living conditions is determined,
- the applicant is in need (Here, the income and payment obligations of the person seeking maintenance as well as the obligation to work for one's own employment are decisive.)
- the respondent is efficient.
- For details, please contact a lawyer.
- Proof of income, assets as well as personal and economic circumstances
- Legal expenses
- Lawyers' fees
- both depend on the amount in dispute
You must assert your claim in good time during your separation phase. Retroactively, you are only entitled to maintenance under certain conditions.
- At least 3 months due to the given procedure, in more complex procedures possibly longer, depending on the individual case
Contact the family court.
An application to assert separation maintenance can only be filed by a lawyer.
- The further course of the judicial proceedings is essentially governed by the provisions on civil proceedings.
- The court shall serve the application on the defendant. He or she will be given the opportunity to comment.
- Subsequently, the family court set an amount for maintenance.
- The court may order the parties to provide information about their income, assets and personal and economic circumstances. If you and your former (spouse) partner do not comply with this order, the court can independently obtain inquiries, e.B. from employers or insurance companies.
