When you make a child support arrangement through alternative dispute resolution (ADR), Nakano City subsidizes the cost. The subsidy is the amount of covered costs you paid, up to ¥20,000. Covered costs are the ADR application fee and request fee, and the cost of the 1st mediation session. Actual costs such as venue rental and transportation are not included. Providers are limited to bar associations or certified ADR providers approved by the Minister of Justice. It covers single parents living in the city who live with and raise a child up to 18 (3rd year of high school or similar) and have not received this subsidy before. You must consult the city before applying, and the application deadline is within 6 months from the day after the 1st mediation session.
