The city subsidizes up to ¥49,000 of the cost of recording child support arrangements made at divorce as legal documents such as notarized deeds or mediation records. If it remains a verbal promise, you cannot take legal action such as seizure when payments stop, so this program supports the cost of putting it in writing. It covers people in single-parent households living in the city as of the application date, or people in divorce negotiations who plan to support the child after divorce. The conditions are that you paid the cost of the notarized deed or similar yourself and have not received a subsidy from another municipality for an arrangement with the same contents. Arrangements by notarized deed are limited to those with a clause accepting compulsory execution. For arrangements by notarized deed, notary fees are covered. For arrangements by family court mediation or trial, revenue stamp costs, the cost of obtaining attached documents such as a certificate of all matters in the family register, and postage stamps are covered. Apply within 6 months of the preparation date of the notarized deed, mediation record or similar. The cost of compulsory execution after child support actually stops being paid is covered by a separate subsidy (partial subsidy for the cost of filing for compulsory execution to secure child support).

Nationality and residence status

The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
