Alimony means funds for the maintenance of children who have not reached the age of majority. One family member is obliged to pay them in favor of another. Responsibilities for the maintenance of a child are to fully provide with what is needed - food, clothing, living conditions, the opportunity to get an education, etc.
Instructions
Step 1
Obligations arise with the arrival of the child. This means that not only couples who are officially married have parental responsibilities and rights, but also those who live separately, divorced or live in a civil marriage.
Step 2
For parents living separately, as well as those who do not want to support their child, the concept of alimony is introduced. Those. this is an obligatory share of the material support necessary for the normal existence of children. Moreover, for the first child, depending on who he actually lives with, alimony can be paid by both the mother and the father.
Step 3
A parent can pay alimony on a voluntary basis or by a court decision. In the first case, the father or mother, according to the law, themselves determine the amount of alimony (by agreement), and in the second, payments are appointed by the court. Withholding alimony for a child is made from all types of wages (income), part-time work, at the main place of work of the parent with whom the child does not live.
Step 4
The amount of alimony depends on the number of children, their age (minors or adults) and certain characteristics (for example, if the child is disabled). So, alimony for one child is 25% of the salary.
Step 5
The percentage varies from 35% to 50% when the child is disabled or there is more than one child in the family. You can calculate the amount of alimony per child differently. The court, for a number of specific reasons established in each specific case, during the course of the court proceedings, may order the payment of alimony in excess of 25% of the parent's salary.
