Alimony Review and Travel Expenses - Legal Aid Office


Questioner

My ex-partner is moving to another municipality. This is 1 hour and 15 minutes drive from my current home address. Can I, as the party paying child support, deduct the extra travel costs from the support?

Lawyer

You cannot automatically offset this unless your ex-partner agrees. Otherwise, a procedure will have to be started in which a recalculation of the maintenance is requested or an adjustment of a previously agreed visitation arrangement is requested. It can also be requested that your ex-partner always pays for this pick-up and drop-off, since the ex-partner is the one who chooses to move. If you wish, you can contact me.

Lawyer

I assume that you have agreed to the move. A change in circumstances may be a reason for a review of the maintenance. Travel expenses are not included in the maintenance calculation as standard, but there is room for this if it concerns non-culpable and unavoidable expenses. Whether this is possible should be examined on the basis of the specific financial data, in which context you can obtain advice from me.
