full maintenance
Maintenance can also be claimed until appropriate employment is
found (§ 1573 German Civil Code). If the income from a suitable
gainful employment is not sufficient for full support in the sense of §
1578 German Civil Code, the claimant can, insofar as he or she is not
already entitled to a maintenance claim under §§ 1570 - 1572 German
Civil Code, demand the difference between his or her own income and
the full maintenance (Aufstockungsunterhalt, § 1573 II German Civil
Code). This maintenance claim is generally of a subsidiary nature and
may be limited in time (cf. § 1573 V German Civil Code).
