So that single parents can arrange child support and keep receiving it, the city subsidizes part of the fees for making a notarized deed (kōsei shōsho) and similar, and the guarantee fee for a child support guarantee contract. Notary fees for a notarized deed and the cost of obtaining documents for filing for mediation and similar are capped at ¥20,000. The first guarantee fee when signing a contract of 1 year or more with a guarantee company that advances and guarantees child support is capped at ¥50,000 (if the monthly child support is under ¥50,000, up to the monthly amount).
