Are you separated or divorced? In this case, you have an obligation to contribute to the maintenance and education of your child (whether born during or out of wedlock, or adopted), even if he is of age, by paying maintenance to the spouse having custody.

Maintenance is calculated according to the resources of both parents and the needs of the child (age, health, disability...).

Do you want to know the amount of maintenance to be paid?

You can use the line simulator of Service-Public.fr. Simply indicate:

  • the net monthly income of the debtor parent (before tax);
  • the type of right of access and accommodation (reduced, traditional or alternating);
  • the number of children concerned;

With a few clicks, the simulator calculates the amount of maintenance due.

Warning  

The calculated amount is indicative. Only the judge (if seised) can decide on the final amount of the pension taking into account the specific situations of the parents.

FYI  

Maintenance is paid monthly and the amount is subject to annual review.
