Up to ¥43,000 for preparing a notarized deed and up to ¥50,000 for a child support guarantee contract

When you make an arrangement for child support after a divorce or similar, Meguro City pays part of the cost of the procedures. There are 2 subsidies. One is the Subsidy to Promote Preparation of Notarized Deeds and Similar, which covers notary fees and the stamp fees and document costs needed for family court mediation or trials. The limit is ¥43,000. The other is the Subsidy to Promote Guarantee Contracts, which covers the first guarantee fee when you sign a child support guarantee contract with a private guarantee company; the limit is ¥50,000. It covers people who have an address in Meguro City, are actually raising the child covered by the child support arrangement, hold an enforceable title of obligation, and have not received a subsidy from this program before. The application deadline is within 6 months of the preparation date for a notarized deed, and within 6 months of signing for a guarantee contract.
