So. Both in peacetime and under martial law, there are two ways to go to court to collect child support.
Option one: in order of mandatory proceedings. This method involves applying for a court order and is the fastest and simplest option. Since in this category the court considers the application for the issuance of a court order within five days from the date of its receipt (receipt).
Option two: in the procedure of legal proceedings. Provides for filing a lawsuit. The second method is better to choose if the child needs a larger maintenance amount. Based on the results of consideration of the claim, the court can determine the amount of alimony as a share of the payer's income or as a fixed amount in accordance with part 3 of article 181 of the Family Code of Ukraine. In this case, the law does not provide for a limit on the maximum amount of alimony. When considering the case and determining the amount of alimony, the court will take into account both the child's maintenance needs and the health and financial situation of the alimony payer. A claim for the recovery of alimony is filed at the plaintiff's choice — either at his own place of residence or at the defendant's place of residence.
