Dear forum,

One translation of this term I found on this site is 'maintenance', but does that apply here as well?

"child maintenance" is best, but perhaps that was clear to you already. :-)

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Katalin Horváth McClure: Please read the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article you quoted, also the paragraph under "Child Support", it starts with: "Alimony is not child support".//Alimony is for the spouse, in Hungarian "házastársi tartásdíj", different from "gyerektartás".

  -> But in this case the child maintenance is not correct either as the article says maintenance = alimony in US. I think if you say "gyerektartás" it means the money the husband pays to his exwife.
disagree  valderby: Alimony is spousal support.

disagree  Ted Toghia: This is paid tothe spouse monthly upon a divorce. The amount is usually set by a judge.
