Criteria for Quantifying Child Support

Article 337 ter of the Italian Civil Code establishes the criteria that the judge must follow in quantifying indirect child support. This article is fundamental to ensuring that the rights of minors are protected in every family situation.

The Quantification Criteria

The judge, in determining the child support, must consider a series of specific factors:

• The needs of the child: Age, health, education, and recreational activities are essential parameters for establishing the amount necessary to cover daily and extraordinary expenses.
• The standard of living enjoyed by the child: The support should allow the child to maintain a standard of living similar to that enjoyed during the cohabitation with both parents.
• The incomes of the parents: The economic capabilities of both parents are crucial for determining a fair and proportionate division of expenses.
• The time spent with each parent: In the case of joint custody, the time the child spends with each parent affects the quantification of the support.

"Child support is a fundamental right that ensures them a serene and stable future."

How the Judge Acts

The judge carefully evaluates each situation, taking into account the specific family circumstances and the needs of the minor. It is essential that the decision is based on accurate and updated information, to ensure fairness and justice.
