Alimony problems? Discover your rights
Questioner
My 19 year old daughter has recently been living together and has a job. Now her father (my ex) has informed her that the alimony will now be stopped and that she will be fine with that. I wonder if he can just do this.Lawyer
No, he is not allowed to do that just like that. If he wants to reduce the maintenance or even set it to zero, he will have to request it in court. This is in connection with a change in circumstances. After all, your daughter's needs are assumed without further ado until she is 21 years old. What may be relevant is how much she has earned and whether she is considered to be able to provide for her own needs partly or completely. However, this will have to be determined in legal proceedings. Her father will have to initiate these proceedings and she can defend herself in them. In that case, I advise her to hire a lawyer. If she wishes, she can contact me. If her father fails to pay the maintenance, she can contact the LBIO free of charge (www.lbio.nl). This agency will then take over the collection of the maintenance for her.Neem de volgende stap
