Alimistic obligations of parents and children

Every child born to this world, whether he is healthy or not, deserves parental love and care. Of course, ideally - when babies grow up in happy families, where loving mom and dad accept, most that is, direct participation in the life of their child.

But, alas, not everyone has relations on a fairy-tale scenario. Families break up , and not always the former lover manages to maintain tolerant or friendly communication, to agree on mutual assistance and alimony obligations of one of the parents, in relation to the children born in marriage. As a result, the injured children remain, because they are not only deprived of a full-fledged family, but also financially disadvantaged.

It is in such cases, the referee in family battles becomes the law that regulates the grounds for the origin, termination and amount of alimony obligations of parents and children. Let us dwell on this topic in more detail.

What are the reasons for the occurrence of child and child support obligations?

Material security is an important aspect on which the future fate of the child depends. Therefore, the mother and father, who are married or after his dissolution, are obliged to support their minor children. As a rule, after the divorce, the parents themselves agree on the amount and regularity of payments. However, if this does not happen, then at the suit of one of the parents with whom the child was left, the funds are collected from the other parent in a judicial procedure.

In addition, the right to file a claim is:

Under the law, the limitation period for child support starts with the birth of the child, but payments are accrued only after the application is filed. Also, in court, you can recover the amount for the past three years, if funds for the maintenance of the child for this period have not been received. Termination of maintenance obligations for children is possible after the child reaches the age of majority, provided that he is able and healthy.

Also, the law regulates situations when parents need the help of their able-bodied children. After retirement, recognition of incapacity for work or sickness, and up to death, parents and adoptive parents are entitled to receive alimony.
