How do I sue my partner for maintenance?

The first step is to attempt a conciliation to set a maintenance quota with your partner. If conciliation is not possible, you can file a maintenance claim against him or her. In addition, if you have already fixed a maintenance quota and your partner or ex-partner fails to pay it when he or she is in a position to do so, you can initiate an enforceable maintenance claim and report him or her criminally for non-payment of maintenance.
