Is salary information public in Denmark?

My kid鈥檚 Danish father and I live separately in Sweden. I asked him to use an online tool to help us agree on child support payment; however, he underreported his Danish earnings to be below the Danish minimum living standards. I find it hard to believe that with his highly-paid job, multiple cars, the new apartment he purchased, and high lifestyle, he barely makes ends meet. Is there a way for me to find out how much he earns in Denmark? This information is public and available online in Sweden where I suspect he underreported his earnings to the Swedish Tax Agency.

I called the Danish Family Law Agency and they refused to help me find out this information since I and the father don't live in Denmark. The Swedish counterpart can't get involved in requesting this in Denmark. The Danish tax agency won't give me this information because I am a private individual. The Danish consulate in Sweden can't help either. Can you think of any other agencies I could contact? What would you do? Thank you for your help and time in advance.

Is there a way for me to find out how much he earns in Denmark? No, there isn't.

I understand that you live in Sweden and the father in Denmark?

What to do depends on where the decision of child support was made and the agreement issued.

If this was issued in Scandinavia, you shall contact Udbetaling Danmark, Opkr忙vning, and ask for their help to recover the amounts.

If another country outside Scandinavia, you shall contact G忙ldsstyrelsen which also can help you to recover the amounts.

Efter 搂 2 i bidragsopkr忙vningsbekendtg酶relsen opkr忙ver danske myndigheder bidrag i f酶lgende situationer:

1) Bidragsmodtageren bor eller opholder sig i Danmark. Dette g忙lder, uanset om bidragsbetaleren bor i Danmark eller i udlandet.

2) Bidragsbetaleren bor eller opholder sig i Danmark, har aktiver i Danmark eller f氓r udbetalt l酶n i Danmark. Dette g忙lder, uanset om bidragsmodtageren bor i Danmark eller i udlandet.

Maybe, the private organisation M酶drehj忙lpen also can give you valuable help. Maybe, worth contacting as the very first.

Okay, then it isn't the way forward. You'll use the Swedish system instead.

In Sweden, kronofogden, can recover the child support for you, provided that you have an agreement.

Hvis for忙ldrene ikke betaler

"Hvis den for忙lder, der skal betale b酶rnebidrag, ikke f酶lger aftalen, kan den for忙lder, som barnet bor hos, beg忙re, at kronofogden inddriver bidraget. I s氓 fald skal aftalen v忙re skriftlig og begge for忙ldres underskrift bevidnes af to personer."

If he doesn't pay the child support, you can get the support from F枚rs盲kringskassan instead.

Underh氓llsst枚d fra F枚rs盲kringskassan

"Hvis den for忙lder, der skal betale b酶rnebidraget, ikke betaler, har barnet ret til underh氓llsst枚d fra F枚rs盲kringskassan. Underh氓llsst枚det er skattefrit.
