Overview
- The family court in Sønderborg issued the ruling on Wednesday and set retroactive payments of about €63,000 for three children living with their father.
- The court assigned roughly €20,700 for daughter Johanna for 3 October 2021 to February 2024 and about €21,400 each for Klara and Theodor for 27 April 2023 to 31 August 2025.
- Judges calculated support using an assumed annual income of about €308,000 after finding key account, tax and loan documents were not fully produced and treating the missing evidence to Block’s disadvantage.
- The court rejected treating money that parents had set aside and already paid out as offsets against arrears and gave Block 14 days to pay; separate civil and criminal proceedings in Hamburg remain pending.
- Block’s adviser said she never refused to pay and contested only the amount and the start date of liability, and lawyers in Germany are pursuing follow-up claims for periods beyond Danish jurisdictional limits.
