Gyermektartási

Gyermektartási refers to child support in Hungary. It is a legal obligation of parents to financially support their children, particularly after a divorce or separation. This financial support is intended to cover the child's living expenses, including food, clothing, housing, education, and healthcare.

The amount of child support is typically determined by the court or through a mutual agreement between the parents. Courts consider several factors when setting the amount, such as the parents' income and earning capacity, the child's needs, and the standard of living the child would have enjoyed if the parents had remained together. There are established guidelines and formulas used to calculate this amount, though deviations are possible based on specific circumstances.

Child support payments are generally made by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent. The duration of child support obligations typically extends until the child reaches the age of majority (18 years in Hungary), or sometimes longer if the child is pursuing higher education and is unable to support themselves. Enforcement mechanisms are in place to ensure compliance with child support orders, including wage garnishment and other legal remedies if payments are not made. The primary aim of gyermektartási is to ensure the well-being and financial security of the child.
