According to Article 179 of the Family Code of Ukraine, alimony received for a child is the property of the child. The parent or other legal representative of the child, in whose name alimony is paid, disposes of it exclusively for the intended purpose in the interests of the child, and therefore the collection of these funds on a loan (taken not in the interests of the child) is illegal.
