Child support,
one step at a time.

What are advance payments?

The state pays eligible child support first and later recovers it from the non-custodial parent.

Up to KRW 200,000 / month per child

This is the maximum for approved applicants. Support is available through age 18, subject to assessment and continuing eligibility.

• A child-support creditor raising a child aged 18 or younger
• An enforceable child-support document, such as a court judgment
• Average payments in the three preceding months below the advance-payment amount
• Evidence of efforts to enforce support, such as legal or collection proceedings

All requirements must be met. See the official guide for current details.
