Regeste Omnilex

LARPA.11; reduction of maintenance advances in the event of payments by the debtor in insolvency proceedings. The authority responsible for advance payments may adjust its advances downward to the extent that the maintenance debtor has effectively paid amounts that reduce the outstanding need. The decisive criterion is the existence of actual payments by the debtor; the advance mechanism is not to exceed the remaining unpaid maintenance burden. This follows from the compensatory function of advances and the avoidance of overcompensation (consid. not specified).
