Düsseldorf table 2024
The Düsseldorf table is a guideline that is used in Germany to determine maintenance for underage and adult children. It was originally developed by the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court, hence the name. It serves to standardize and guide the determination of maintenance amounts and is regularly updated to reflect changes in needs and economic circumstances.
It has been updated again this year and you will find an overview below:
