[HIGHLIGHTS] Alimony, childcare… a bill to create a “single parent status”

Draft bill aims to create a “single parent status” and ensure their rights. One in four families in France are single parents.

80% of single parents are mothers. Single parents would have priority to obtain places in crèche. Alimony would not be subject to income tax, up to a limit of 4,000 euros per child, capped at 12,000 per year. The single parent would be entitled to six quarters of free retirement insurance (i.e. without contributions). His retirement pension will be increased by 15%.
