Contents of an application for the recovery of alimony

Hat

The heading indicates the name of the judicial institution to which the claim is filed, the parties to the case, the price of the claim, if any. Usually a claim is filed at the place of residence of the defendant, but in some cases the law provides for the possibility of filing an application in the area of ​​residence of the plaintiff.

The parties to the case are the plaintiff, who is demanding the payment of alimony, and the defendant, the person who is legally obliged to pay the child support. Third parties can also be involved in the proceedings, but their involvement must be justified. The names of the plaintiff and the defendant, their place of residence and telephone numbers are indicated here.

The cost of the claim when filing an application for alimony is the aggregate of all required payments, but not more than six months in advance. After that, in the middle of the sheet, the name of the claim is written – “Statement of claim for the recovery of alimony.”
