Separation maintenance: Money only flows under certain conditions. As of: March 13, 2024, 5:00 a.m By: Anna Katharina Kuesters CommentsPressSplit If a marriage fails, a person may be entitled to so-called separation maintenance.

However, certain requirements must be met for this to happen. The maintenance requirement determines how much money both partners must have available each month until the divorce is legal. Not every partner is able to pay the separation maintenance for the other person from their net cash. According to the Düsseldorf table, every working person is entitled to a deductible of 1,600 euros per month.
