Alimony in favor of another person is paid either on the basis of a court decision or on the basis of a notarized agreement. Such an agreement is between the person who is obligated to pay the support and the person who is entitled to receive it. Accordingly, the amount, procedure and terms for the payment of alimony are contained in one of these sources. A writ of execution is issued on the basis of a court decision. When paying alimony, different situations are possible in which both parties need to act legally competently.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is if the alimony payer is employed and has a permanent place of work. In this case, the writ of execution, or a notarized agreement on the payment of alimony, is sent directly to the employer. After that, the employer's accounting department makes monthly deductions to the alimony recipient from the salary and other income of the alimony payer. Deductions are made within three days from the date of payment of wages or other funds. In this case, no additional action is required from the alimony payer. However, it must be remembered that when changing the place of work or place of residence, the alimony payer must inform both the bailiff executing the enforcement proceedings and the person receiving the alimony within three days. It is also necessary to report on the appearance of additional earnings or other income from the alimony payer if the alimony is paid to minor children.
Step 2
In other cases, alimony is paid by the payer independently. Funds can be transferred both in cash and in non-cash form. When transferring non-cash funds in the column "purpose of payment" of the payment document, it is necessary to indicate for which month the alimony is transferred and the last name, first name, patronymic of the person for whom they are transferred.
Step 3
Alimony is paid in cash only to a person authorized to receive it and is obligatory against receipt. The receipt must indicate for which month the person received the alimony and the surname, name, patronymic of the person to whom they are intended. Such receipts should be obtained regardless of how good the relationship between the recipient and the alimony payer is at the moment, because in the future the relationship may deteriorate, and the payer may face a real problem of proving the payment of alimony.
Step 4
Alimony must be paid on time. Otherwise, there will be a debt on their payment, which is punishable by sanctions. If an agreement on the payment of alimony is in effect, the sanctions provided for by such an agreement are applied. If the alimony was ordered by the court, then a penalty is paid in the amount of 110 percent of the amount of unpaid alimony for each day of delay. In addition, the recipient of alimony, in the event of a debt, has the opportunity to go to court with a claim to recover from the delayed payer all losses caused by late payment of alimony.
Step 5
However, the alimony payer has not only obligations, but also rights. A parent payer who has caught or suspects the person receiving child support that the funds are spent on other purposes not related to the child has the right to go to court. In court, it is necessary to require the establishment of such a procedure for the payment of alimony, in which up to 50% of the alimony payments to be paid are transferred directly to the child's bank account.
