Can I get rid of AFU if I have three or more children?
Exemption for three or more children under 18 years of age. Updated: October 2026.
Yes, three or more children under the age of 18 are grounds for dismissal. Your dependent children are taken into account, not just the fact of parentage. An important limitation: the basis is blocked if there is an alimony debt of more than 3 months. Details below.
Documents proving maintenance
- birth certificates of all children;
- certificate of family composition and maintenance documents;
- if there are obligations, executive proceedings or alimony documents.
Only dependent children are counted. Alimony debt for more than 3 months blocks the grounds for dismissal.
