Christening/naming contribution

In addition to regular child maintenance, The Family Law Administration may determine christening/naming contribution, if requested.

The amount of the payment for christening/naming is the same as the amount for regular child maintenance. An application for christening/naming contribution must be made no later than three months after the child is christened/given a name.

It is possible to apply for this maintenance payment along with the declaration of paternity. The application forms are available upon request. 

See payment amounts here.
