Government bill

The plan places stronger economic independence for each person at the center and states that women have weaker economic independence than men and are often economically dependent on a partner. Making it a legal requirement that a cohabitant's finances be taken into account when the maintenance exemption is determined builds in precisely such dependence in collection law. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's requirement that the words about cohabitants be removed.

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan does not address the garnishment procedure or the calculation of the protective amount. The closest underlying principle is the requirement for a social safety net throughout life and that children should not grow up in poverty. Not making the proportionality principle for cohabitants law keeps the protective amount high in households where there is no maintenance obligation, which lies closest to that principle.

• social safety net throughout lifedecisive»Socialt skyddsnät under hela livet, med robusta socialförsäkringar« (party programme ↗)“Social safety net throughout life, with robust social insurance”
• no child poverty»Ett samhälle där barn inte växer upp i fattigdom.« (party programme ↗)“A society where children do not grow up in poverty.”
• bridging social policy»En socialpolitik som utjämnar klyftor och frigör människor.« (party programme ↗)“A social policy that bridges gaps and frees people.”

The documents do not address attachment enforcement or how the retained amount shall be determined. The nearest underlying principle is that everyone has the right to basic economic security and that economic vulnerability shall not be inherited. Not weighing in a cohabiter's economic capacity, as the counter-proposal requires, gives the debtor a larger remaining livelihood space and is therefore closest to the plan's security principle.

• basic economic securitydecisive»Alla har rätt till en grundläggande ekonomisk trygghet.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone has the right to basic economic security.”
• counter economic vulnerability»Ekonomisk utsatthet ska inte gå i arv.« (party programme ↗)“Economic vulnerability shall not be inherited.”

The plan does not address the enforcement procedure or the reservation amount. The closest principle is that everyone should be able to control their own life and not be bound by imposed collective assumptions, which suggests that a partner's finances should not automatically be included in the debtor's ability to pay. The plan also emphasizes that those with narrow margins should be protected, which is why the counter-proposal's demand is closest to the plan's principles, albeit with great uncertainty.

• individual self-determinationdecisive»Alla ska kunna bestämma över sina egna liv genom egna och fria val.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone should be able to control their own lives through their own free choices.”
• the individual before the collective»Vi tror på varje människas rätt och förmåga att själv forma sin egen framtid.« (party programme ↗)“We believe in every person's right and ability to shape their own future.”

The plan says nothing about the execution procedure or how the reserve amount shall be determined. The closest principle is that the individual person is the starting point and that compensation systems should be individualized, which argues against one cohabitant's finances being counted into another person's ability to pay. Moreover, the plan wants to give over-indebted people greater opportunity to become debt-free, which points in the same direction.

• individualized compensationdecisive»Fler utrikes födda kvinnor ska komma i arbete genom reformer av föräldraförsäkringen och flerbarnstillägget och ett mer individualiserat försörjningsstöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More women born abroad should enter work through reforms of parental insurance and multiple child allowance and more individualized support for subsistence.”

The plan stipulates that the taxation, benefit and social insurance systems collectively shall take account of family situation and financial dependency, and that family forms other than the traditional one shall have the same respect and support. Weighing a cohabiting partner's financial capacity in the maintenance contribution follows from this household perspective. The counter-proposal wishes to exempt cohabiting partners and thus goes against the plan's line.

• consideration of family situationdecisive»Skatte-, bidrags- och socialförsäkringssystemen ska sammantaget ta hänsyn till familjesituationen och försörjningsansvaret samt upplevas som rimligt av medborgaren.« (party programme ↗)“The taxation, benefit and social insurance systems shall collectively take account of family situation and financial dependency and be perceived as fair by the citizen.”
• equal respect for family forms»Familjen består i de flesta fall av mamma, pappa och barn men i vårt samhälle finns andra familjebildningar som ska ha samma respekt och stöd.« (party programme ↗)“The family consists in most cases of mother, father and child but in our society there are other family forms that shall have the same respect and support.”
• personal responsibility»Hederlighet och personligt ansvarstagande är viktiga fundament.« (party programme ↗)“Integrity and personal responsibility are important foundations.”
• stable family community»Samhället ska framhålla en medveten vilja till stabil familjegemenskap.« (party programme ↗)“Society shall promote a conscious commitment to stable family community.”

The plan's family view encompasses the family in the different forms it can take today, and it wants family legislation to be gender-neutral and non-discriminatory. Exempting cohabiting partners from the proportionality principle would mean that equal households are treated differently in collection and that fewer debts are paid. The plan therefore argues against the counter-proposal's demands to remove cohabiting partners from the law.

• equal treatment and predictabilitydecisive»principer om likabehandling och förutsebarhet« (party programme ↗)“principles of equal treatment and predictability”
• equal treatment of family forms»Se till att all familjelagstiftning är könsneutral« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensure that all family legislation is gender-neutral”
• justice system upholds contracts»Rättsväsendet fyller också en viktig roll för det civila« (party programme ↗)“The justice system also plays an important role for the civil”

The plan does not address enforcement procedures or the calculation of the protected portion. The closest principles are that debts and damages shall actually be paid and that systems that encourage avoidance shall be countered, and that the family is regarded as an economic and social community. To exempt cohabiting couples from the proportionality principle gets no support in these principles, which is why the counter-proposal's demand is rejected with low certainty.

• debts shall be paiddecisive»Rätten till skadestånd måste garanteras« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The right to damages must be guaranteed”
• counteract avoidance»Både fusk och sådana system som tenderar att locka till fusk och korruption ska motverkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Both fraud and systems that tend to encourage fraud and corruption shall be countered.”
