It's no secret that getting an education in a university is a troublesome and expensive business, and a student who attends all lectures diligently to work fully, in order to support himself, is simply not able. The different kind of work-work in free time, combined with study, negatively affects the quality of the latter. So the question arises whether it is possible to receive alimony for an adult student? When can I get alimony for an adult child? Let's understand together.
Alimony for an adult child in Russia
According to the letter of the law (article 80 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation), parents are required to keep their minor children, i. children under the age of 18 years. With the entry of the child into adults, parents are exempted from the obligation to pay maintenance for their maintenance, and children, respectively, are denied the right to receive these alimony. Despite the appearance in the information on the adoption in 2013 of a law in Russia that alimony for students after 18 years of age must be paid up to the age of 23, no changes to the Family Code have been made.
On the issue of payment of alimony after 18 years, the Family Code of the Russian Federation is unambiguous - alimony for an adult child can be obtained only in the case of his disability (disability) and only when the child is recognized as needy, i.e. the state assistance it receives is not sufficient for a normal life. In the event that an adult invalid acquired a specialty (for example, a computer typing operator) and receives a salary, he does not have the right to receive maintenance.
If parents can not reach an agreement on the payment of child support for a child after 18 years amicably, then their collection takes place in a judicial order. In considering the issue of the amount of paid content, many factors are taken into account: the material situation of both parties, the presence of other persons in need of assistance (disabled children and parents) and other interests of both parties that deserve the attention of the court. Alimony in this case is assigned in a fixed amount of money every month. After the child reaches the age of eighteen years, it is also possible to get the debt that has arisen on the payment of alimony for the three years that preceded the presentation of the writ of execution. To enforce collection of debts, one must send to the bailiff service a writ of execution on compulsory recovery of alimony issued earlier.

In the Family Code of Ukraine, in addition to payment of alimony for disabled adult children, the right to extend payment of alimony after 18 years for those children who continue to study and therefore need help is also legally enshrined. It is completely unimportant at the same time in which educational institution the child (technical school, college or college) is trained, on what form of education (full-time or part-time) and at whose expense he receives education (budget, contract) - he has the right to receive alimony before reaching 23 years. Alimony in this case is considered as a special aid for education, and therefore for the period of holidays,
To receive alimony, an adult child must file a statement of claim with the court, attaching the following documents to him:
