Some payment services can be unstable
As of 1 January 2026, new debt collection rules will take effect and several collection authorities will be merged into one: the Collection Authority. We are therefore rebuilding and updating skatteetaten.no for a few days from and including 1 January.

Apply for advance child maintenance payment
You can also apply for advance child maintenance payment from NAV if the child maintenance is not being paid. If you receive advance child maintenance payment, the maintenance payment claim must always be collected by us.
Not everyone is entitled to advance child maintenance payment
To receive advance child maintenance payment, you must meet certain conditions, for example, relating to your salary.
- About advance child maintenance payment (i Norwegian only ).
When will the maintenance be paid?
The deadline to pay child maintenance is the 25th each month. The date on which you receive the maintenance, can vary.
If you’ve not received the child maintenance payment and you’ve been granted advance child maintenance payment, you’ll receive it in the beginning of the following month.
Consequences if the maintenance payer does not pay
We’ll follow this up for you, but please note that this process takes time.
If the maintenance payer does not pay, we’ll send both a reminder and a notification of enforced collection to the maintenance payer.
If you’ve not received any maintenance payments after the maintenance payer has received reminders, we can carry out enforced collection of the maintenance payment.
We’ll first consider attachment of earnings on salary or benefits the maintenance payer receives.
When attachment of earnings is carried out, the maintenance payer must have sufficient funds for cost of living expenses and other necessary expenses. Your finances as a maintenance recipient will not be a part of this assessment.
