In our country, almost every second marriage ends in divorce. Therefore, the word "alimony" is known to everyone. As a rule, they are paid by a man for a child left with his ex-wife, but there are cases when a woman paid money to her ex-husband, while the child lived with his father.
Contrary to popular belief that a wife can be for a while, and a child forever, not every father seeks and can ensure his comfortable existence. Sometimes this is facilitated by internal disagreements between former spouses, sometimes objective reasons, for example, low wages. On the other hand, parents, who are primarily concerned about the well-being of the common child, can conclude an agreement on the payment of alimony - a document that determines the procedure and amount of payments. Alimony received by agreement cannot be less than alimony received in court. Another thing is that in this case it is possible to agree on a change in the types or terms of payments.
According to the law, a parent must pay a quarter of the earnings for one child, a third for two children and half the official salary for three or more. By mutual desire of the former spouses, you can conclude an agreement on the payment of alimony, which will stipulate that payments will be made not only from the official salary, but also from other sources of income (rented apartment, etc.).
Another option is to specify a fixed amount, not a share of the salary. Such an agreement on the payment of alimony is signed when the spouse does not have a permanent source of income, or when he has the ability and desire to pay an amount higher than that (for example, according to the law, 5 thousand rubles are supposed to be paid monthly, by agreement, the father will pay 15 thousand rubles).
At the mutual desire of the parties, an agreement on the payment of alimony in the form of a large lump sum can be established . In this case, the full amount due to children up to their full age is paid. For example: spouses after the division of property are entitled to equal shares in the apartment. Former spouses can agree that the father leaves his share of the children at the expense of relying on alimony. That is, a woman with children will live in the former apartment, which will become their property, and the father will be removed from the obligation to transfer child support monthly.
By agreement, you can pay child support, not with money, but with food, medicine, clothing, buying things, or use combined methods.
All agreements are concluded based on the interests of children, so that their needs are adequately provided. Therefore, on account of alimony it is impossible to transfer things or property that the child does not need (for example, emergency housing or a third laptop).
The alimony agreement is notarized. In the case when the material situation of the parties changes, by mutual agreement the contract can be terminated, also in the presence of a notary Unilaterally, amending or renegotiating a contract is possible only by court order.
There are several other categories of citizens who may be charged with child support. For example, adult capable and able-bodied children may be required to help their elderly, needy parents. This may also apply to ex-spouses in cases established by law. All these persons belong to alimento-liable citizens of the first stage.
If there are none, the obligation is passed on to the persons of the second stage. Adult and capable people should help their needy minor sisters and brothers. Grandmothers are obliged to help their legally incompetent grandchildren, and adult grandchildren are required to support feeble grandparents. Stepsons and foster children should also help those in need who raised them at one time.
