Child support - legal obligation

Question

Is it by law in sweden for a man not be forced to take responsibility if he denies a child?

Answer 1

Hello.

Thank you for your question.

I take it that you have been legally established the father of the child? If that is the case then you have one certain responsibility, legally.

Swedish law requires you to pay child support until the child turns 18. You can find the specific law regarding this here. However, when the child turns 18 you no longer have any legal responsibilities to fulfill.

I hope this answers your questions. If not, then feel free to email us at [e-mail].

Good luck!
