How many shared children?

Custody type?

Indicative result based on CGPJ reference tables and 2026 court practice. Does not replace legal analysis of the specific case or a court order. Always consult a family lawyer.

How do courts set child support?

Legal principle (Art. 146 CC): Support must be proportional to the payer's income and the child's needs. There is no fixed tariff.

CGPJ reference tables: The CGPJ published reference tables based on Provincial Court decisions. Not binding but the standard starting point for family lawyers and judges.

Shared custody: Support is reduced because both parents directly cover costs during their care periods. If incomes are very unequal, the judge may set a compensatory payment.

Ordinary and extraordinary expenses: Support covers ordinary costs. Extraordinary costs (orthodontics, activities, uncovered medical) are split 50/50 unless otherwise agreed.

Frequently asked questions

From when does support apply?

From the date the claim is filed. Provisional measures allow support to be fixed at the start of proceedings (Art. 771 LEC).

What if the paying parent doesn't pay?

Non-payment is a criminal offence (Art. 227 CP) after 2 consecutive or 4 alternating months. Enforcement can garnish wages, tax refunds or bank accounts.

Does it end when the child turns 18?

No. It continues while the child is not financially independent (STS 12 February 2015).
