If you have custody of your child/children and once the enforcement of the court ruling recognizing the right to child support has been initiated, it has been impossible to collect said support, the non-custodial parent can request from the Alimony Payment Guarantee Fund
what is known as an "Advance for Non-Payment of Child Support".
What are the economic requirements to access this benefit?
For the viability of your application, the financial resources of the family unit in which the minor is integrated must not exceed the income limit
resulting from multiplying the annual amount of the Public Indicator of Multiple Effects Income (IPREM), in force at the time of the advance request, by the coefficient corresponding to the number of minor children in the family unit.
This coefficient will be 1.5 if there is only one child, and will increase by 0.25 for each additional child as follows:
- 1 child 1.5 x IPREM (in force at the time of the advance request)
- 2 children 1.75 x IPREM
- 3 children 2 x IPREM
- 4 children 2.25 x IPREM
- and so on
100€ per month for each beneficiary unless the court ruling sets a lower monthly amount, in which case the amount set by the court ruling will be paid.
Maximum duration of benefit:
18 months, either continuously or discontinuously.
How is it requested?
It is requested by filling out the application and submitting it at any public registry, or at the Passive Class Units of the Economic and Treasury Delegations.

What documentation do I need?
- Copy of the court ruling that accredits the collection of child support.
- Copy of the documentation that proves the enforcement of the ruling has been initiated (Judicial documentation proving that the seizure of the other person's assets has been reported and executed).
- Certification issued by the Court Clerk accrediting the unsuccessful result of the enforcement.
- Family book.
- If the person who has custody of the minor is a victim of gender violence: a conviction or court ruling where a restraining order exists.
- Declaration of family unit income made by the applicant.
What are the deadlines for the administration to resolve my application?
- 3 months in the ordinary procedure.
- 2 months in the urgent procedure.
The lack of resolution within the indicated deadlines implies the approval of the application by administrative silence.
Are there any incompatibilities with other benefits/aid?
Yes, receiving the advance is incompatible with other benefits or aid of the same nature and purpose recognized by different Public Administrations. The holder of custody of the minor beneficiary must choose one of them.
