Maintenance support
Support for the child when the other parent pays no maintenance, or too little.
Quick check: does this apply to you?
Answer yes or no on each line. Nothing is saved.
- The child lives and is registered with you
- You and the other parent don’t live together
- The other parent pays no or little maintenance
What affects the decision
- How much the other parent pays
- The child’s age and whether the child is studying
What to do
- Read the rules and current amounts at Försäkringskassan.
- Find out what the other parent pays and whether you have an agreement.
- Apply in Försäkringskassan’s e-service. You log in with e-identification at the authority, never at Rättkoll.
- You get a decision. If your situation changes, you usually need to report it.
Give correct information. From 1 July 2026, Försäkringskassan charges a sanction fee if you were overpaid because you gave incorrect information or did not report a change: 25 percent of the incorrect amount, at least 2,368 SEK.
