Child support
Collection and payment
The Social Insurance Administration will arrange for the payment of minimum child support, if requested. Applications can be made from the office of the Social Insurance Administration and its branches.
The Social Insurance Administration is only an intermediary for the payment of alimony to the alimony recipient and is obliged to pay in accordance with a legal alimony decision such as e.g. a magistrate's ruling or an agreement confirmed by him, a judgment or a court settlement, if requested. Payment is made in advance on the first day of each month.
A parent must arrange by him/herself for the collection of an additional child-support contribution, if payments are not processed through the Social Insurance Administration.
A child-support payer makes payments to District Commissioner of North-west Iceland, unless there is an agreement between the parents that payments should be made without the mediation of the Social Insurance Administration. A payer of child support can seek assistance from the District Commissioner of North-west Iceland if in default.
