    Folks,

    I have been going through family law a bit and was wondering about maintenance orders and if there is a cap on payments... i.e. maximum amount of €xxx amount per week set in stone by law??

    From www.courts.ie

    Maintenance proceedings
    Maintenance
    The District Court holds concurrent jurisdiction with the Circuit Court to hear and determine proceedings under the Act of 1976 as amended. However the District Court jurisdiction in terms of award of maintenance it can make is limited to a rate not greater than €500 per week for the support of a spouse or €150 per week for the support of a child.

    There is no maximum but as DCC160 points out, higher amounts of maintenance require orders from higher courts.
