Streamlined Application Process: Request Financial Aid for Children of Sole Parents Via Digital Platforms

In a significant move to simplify the process for single parents, the city of Gießen has made the application for child support advance available online. This new system allows parents or guardians applying for the benefit to submit their application through a dedicated online form on the official Gießen city website.

The online application process for the child support advance, known as "Apply for Child Support Advance for Single Parents", was updated on 28.08.2025. To use this service, a service account needs to be set up. The required documents can be uploaded digitally, and the application can be digitally signed using the online ID function.

For single parents residing in Gießen who are facing issues with child support payments from the other parent, this online application process offers a convenient and accessible solution. It is important to note that this application process is designed for such specific situations.

If you prefer to apply in a paper format, the option is still available. More detailed information and requirements for the child support advance can be found on the city of Gießen's homepage under "Life - Children, Youth and Family."

The Service Portal for Child Support Advance, a separate online resource, has been set up to facilitate this application process. It provides a user-friendly platform where single parents can fill out the application and submit their request for financial assistance for child support.

While the application process does not specify any income or financial eligibility requirements in this paragraph, it is essential to check the city's official website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
