Divorce often becomes a painful moment in life. Therefore, it is very important to try to settle all issues peacefully, without involving the judicial system. For example, child support can be established by agreement between the parents. How can you draw up an agreement on this?

Step 1
Before starting the divorce proceedings, discuss with your spouse how the custody of the children will be carried out. Alimony is paid to the parent with whom the child will live after the dissolution of the marriage. Discuss the exact amount and form of payment. According to the law, alimony under a voluntary agreement cannot be less than those that would have been ordered in this case by the court. Payments for the maintenance of one child should not be less than 25% of the payer's salary. Alimony for two children must be equal to at least 33% of income, and for three or more - 50%.
At the same time, remember that when distributing alimony, the interests of not only the children in the current marriage, but also other offspring of the person who will pay the alimony, can be taken into account. For example, if a man has one child from his first marriage and one child from his second marriage, he has the right to pay each only 16.5% of his salary, which in total is just the required 33%.
Step 2
Draw up the text of the agreement itself. It may include not only financial issues, but also clauses on the distribution of custody of children. For example, you can specify how often the second parent will see the child.
If you do not know how to correctly draw up such a document, contact a lawyer - a specialist in family law.
Step 3
Have the resulting agreement certified by a notary. Pay the required fee for this.
Step 4
If the spouse does not want to enter into an agreement voluntarily, you can sue him. In this case, he will already determine the amount of alimony and the method of calculating it.
