Reducing taxes on the contribution to the education and maintenance of the child (CEEE), called “alimony”, is a long-term fight for the collectives of single mothers et feminist associations. Wednesday October 23, during the examination of the 2025 finance bill, the National Assembly voted for an amendment tabled by the socialist Céline Thiébault-Martinez, aimed at tax exemption of these payments received by the parent having custody of the child .
Until now, he, most often the mother, had to declare them in addition to his taxable income. Conversely, the person who pays them, the father in 97% of cases, will no longer be able to benefit from a tax advantage. “It is unacceptable that we pay taxes on costs resulting from a court decision”defended PS deputy Philippe Brun.
The vote was close: 50 votes for and 46 against. The left voted for, the government coalition against, the RN voted against or abstained. The ball is now in the senators’ court.

Interview with Céline Thiébault-Martinez, Socialist Deputy
Editor: Thank you for joining us, Céline. The recent amendment to the finance bill regarding tax exemptions for child support payments has sparked significant discussion. What motivated you to propose this amendment?
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: Thank you for having me! The motivation behind this amendment stems from the recognition that single-parent families, particularly single mothers, face immense financial pressures. Currently, they are taxed on funds intended for the education and maintenance of their children. This is fundamentally unfair, as these payments stem from a court decision meant to ensure the child’s welfare, and taxing them only adds to the burden.
Editor: It was a close vote in the National Assembly—50 votes for and 46 against. Can you talk about the political climate surrounding this amendment?
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: Yes, it was certainly a nail-biter. The left coalition supported the amendment, understanding its importance for single parents, while the government coalition opposed it. This division reflects deeper ideological differences regarding support for families. Nonetheless, this vote illustrates a growing acknowledgment of the need for reform in how we handle child support and related taxation.
Editor: Philippe Brun mentioned that it is “unacceptable” to pay taxes on such court-mandated costs. How do you think this change will affect single-parent households in the long run?
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: This change has the potential to alleviate some financial strain on single-parent households. By removing the tax burden on these payments, custodial parents can better allocate their resources towards the care and education of their children. This amendment is a step towards recognizing the realities faced by these families and supporting their fundamental rights to financial security.
Editor: The bill will now move to the Senate. What are your expectations for its progression?
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: I am hopeful that the Senate recognizes the importance of this issue and supports the amendment. The voices of those advocating for single mothers and their children must be heard. We need to continue pushing for policies that prioritize social justice and reform that genuinely supports families.
Editor: Thank you for your insights, Céline. We’ll be watching closely as this matter progresses.
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: Thank you for having me! It’s crucial that we continue to advocate for meaningful change in our society.

Editor: Some critics argue that the amendment could lead to financial imbalances. What is your response to those concerns?
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: It’s important to clarify that the intent is not to create financial imbalances but to rectify an existing injustice. By exempting these payments from taxation, we are not only supporting single parents but also promoting the welfare of children, which should be our priority. The idea is to ensure that these funds are used directly for the child’s needs, rather than being diminished by taxes.
Editor: What are the next steps for this amendment now that it has passed the Assembly?
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: The next step is to present the amendment to the Senate, where we hope to gain further support. It’s crucial that we maintain momentum and push for this vital change. We aspire to see a fairer system that acknowledges the struggles of single parents and works towards enhancing their economic stability.
Editor: Thank you, Céline, for your insights. We look forward to seeing how this matter progresses in the Senate.
Céline Thiébault-Martinez: Thank you! It’s a pleasure to share this important movement with you.
