Sometimes this circumstance causes a lot of controversy and disagreement, because not everyone succeeds in maintaining the well-being and integrity of the family. In such situations, the issue of paying child support arises and sometimes it is very acute. For this reason, it is worth understanding what the law says about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-child-support\">What is child support?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alimony is money paid to support a child by one of the parents who does not live with him or raise him.<\/strong> They are paid until the eighteenth birthday of the alimony recipient or until the end of his studies, since obtaining an education can also be a reason for deducting alimony. But there is a nuance here, if the offspring is studying by correspondence and does not work at the same time, then there is a small probability that he will be awarded financial assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alimony for children can be paid both voluntarily and compulsorily. In the first case, there should be some agreement between the parents about the procedure and method of supporting the child. It can be both oral and written. The contract can be drawn up with a notary, after which it becomes legally binding. It is necessary to enforce alimony for children when the alimony refuses to pay it of his own free will. This happens quite often. Then you have to go to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form name=\"form\" action=\"en-mail-tel.php\" method=\"post\" id=\"form_message\">\n<div class=\"titles\" id=\"onetelefon\">\n<p><strong>Send a request for feedback to our lawyer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"titles\" id=\"oneresponse\">\n<p>Please enter your contact phone number in the form and we will contact you as soon as possible*<\/p><\/div>\n<p><input class=\"input\" name=\"name\" type=\"text\" aria-labelledby=\"onetelefon\" style=\"width: 95%;

One child is usually allocated a quarter of the parent&#8217;s income, two &#8211; a third, three or more &#8211; half. By law, the amount of alimony cannot exceed 50% of the alimony&#8217;s earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When calculating a fixed amount, various factors are taken into account:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Parent&#8217;s income;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amount of children;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Children&#8217;s age;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The health status of the paying parent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The fixed sum of money has a significant drawback &#8211; it cannot be changed if the alimony&#8217;s income level has increased.

The statement of claim for the recovery of alimony is submitted in triplicate to the local district court or to the office of the defendant at the place of residence. One copy remains in court, the second is sent to the defendant, and the third, with a note of acceptance, is handed over to confirm the filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the spouses are divorced, a copy of the court decision on divorce is submitted instead of the marriage certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form name=\"form\" action=\"en-mail-tel.php\" method=\"post\" id=\"form_message\">\n<div class=\"titles\" id=\"twotelefon\">\n<p><strong>Requesting feedback from a lawyer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"titles\" id=\"tworesponse\">\n<p>Please enter your phone number in the form and our lawyer will contact you shortly*<\/p><\/div>\n<p><input class=\"input\" name=\"name\" type=\"text\" aria-labelledby=\"twotelefon\" style=\"width: 95%; padding: 20px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><input name=\"subject\" value=\"Request for services from the WebYurist website form 2\" aria-labelledby=\"tworesponse\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-medium-font-size\">\n<input class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" id=\"twosend\" style=\"border-radius:10px; width: 100%; font-weight: bold; font-size:22px\" rel=\"nofollow\" value=\"Send number\" type=\"submit\" \/><\/div><\/form>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-6 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" id=\"call-us-button\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 has-custom-font-size is-style-outline\" id=\"call-us\" style=\"font-size:1.3rem\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+380639593288\" style=\"border-radius:10px\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Call us (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram)<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-7 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" id=\"write-us-button\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 has-custom-font-size is-style-outline\" id=\"ask-a-question-by-email\" style=\"font-size:1.3rem\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"mailto:uavms@ukr.net\" style=\"border-radius:10px\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Ask a question by email<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"return-to-content-in-article\">Return to content in article:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:1.3rem;font-style:italic;font-weight:300\">\n<li><a href=\"#what-is-child-support\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#what-is-child-support\">What is child support?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#alimony-amounts-and-minimum-payments\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#alimony-amounts-and-minimum-payments\">Alimony amounts and minimum payments<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#about-filing-claim-for-the-recovery-alimony-in-Ukraine\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#about-filing-claim-for-the-recovery-alimony-in-Ukraine\">About filing a claim for the recovery of alimony in Ukraine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collection of child support.
