Claim for the payment of alimony in a fixed amount of money

In what cases is it written?

A specific amount, the so-called fixed amount, can be discussed if the alimony clerk does not work officially, or has a non-permanent employment, or receives a salary with some natural objects, things. Since alimony is paid until the offspring reaches the age of 18, you should take the calculation of the amount of funds collected very seriously.

Knowing that the ex-spouse earns well, only unofficially, one should calculate how much the husband would pay alimony for the maintenance of the child, if his income were “white”. Exactly 1/4 for 1 child or 1/3 for two children, expressed in a specific amount, and should be specified in the statement of claim, asking for the recovery of alimony in a fixed amount of money.

Thus, if the spouse who is obliged to pay alimony in shares of wages did not work, then the specified amount of alimony will be determined based on the size of the average wages In Russian federation.

In the statement of claim, indicating the amount of alimony, you need to be sure that you can prove that this is how much money is needed to maintain the standard of living familiar to the child, and confirm with checks, receipts, which should be an attachment to the claim.

You should be aware and be prepared for the fact that the court is particularly attentive to such claims, and decisions are made for a long time, as checks and clarifications are underway.

It should not be assumed that the court will formally treat the issue of alimony - no, the defendant's arguments will be heard if questions or objections arise from his side. The court will also establish whether there are any circumstances that will affect the standard of living of the alimony payer in a sharply negative way - whether there are dependents, disabled parents, a pregnant spouse, a baby just born in a new family, etc.

It happens that a business is opened in the name of a child that brings a good income, then the issue of collecting funds can be considered from a different angle.

Since ensuring a decent standard of living for children is a serious matter (moreover, the outcome of the court will decide the fate of the amount of alimony, sometimes long time, until reaching adulthood), it is worth Consider getting help from a qualified lawyer.

The obligation to support their minor children is assigned to parents by the family legislation of the Russian Federation (Article 80 of the RF IC). If the parents agree among themselves on the method and amount of payment of funds for the maintenance of children (alimony), an agreement is concluded between them. If a parent does not pay child support, they can be collected by going to court.

What determines the amount of child support payments?

The amount of child support a parent owes can be determined in different ways. It can be either a certain share of the parent's income or a specific amount of money.

If the parent has a regular income, child support is collected as follows:

  • 1/4 of the parent's income if there is 1 child;
  • 1/3 of the parent's income if there are 2 children;
  • 1/2 of the parent's income if there are 3 or more children.

Such amounts of alimony payments are established by law and are mandatory. But it should be remembered that the size of payments can be changed up or down - everything is very individual.

This procedure for collecting alimony is not the only one. If the parent does not have a permanent income, or income is available, but irregular, or he receives funds due to him in another currency (this includes earnings in kind), the amount of alimony is set in a specific (fixed) amount of money.

When can you claim child support?

There is a certain procedure for collecting alimony: a court order or a court decision can be issued.

A court decision is the result of filing a claim for the recovery of alimony if one of the parents evades payment or does not pay them at all.

A claim for alimony is filed in the following cases:

  • in addition to collecting alimony, paternity must be established;
  • children live with each parent;
  • a legal dispute has arisen that can only be resolved by judicial order;
  • the defendant does not agree with the alimony requirements;
  • in addition to the demand for alimony, a claim was filed for the termination of marital relations or deprivation parental rights;
  • raises the question of reducing or increasing the maintenance amount;
  • maintenance requirements are presented to the adopter, subject to the cancellation of the adoption;
  • there is a need to pay alimony to an adult disabled child (or children);
  • alimony is subject to collection not as a share of earnings, but in a fixed amount (if this issue cannot be resolved through a court order);
  • in the event of exceptional circumstances that require additional costs;
  • it is required to change, terminate or invalidate the previously reached agreement on maintenance payments.

Let's move on to action

If you decide to collect child support, you must do the following:

  • competently draw up a statement of claim;
  • do not forget about the state fee (100 or 200 rubles, if you decide to collect alimony for your maintenance);
  • at the place of residence of the defendant to file a claim for alimony in the Magistrate's Court.

Remember that the deadline limitation period no for alimony (Article 107 of the RF IC). A statement of claim demanding the recovery of alimony can be filed at any time, even if the child has reached the age of majority.

  • Court. Recovery of alimony is the jurisdiction of the justice of the peace. To properly file a claim, you need to find out the number of the site or the full name of the justice of the peace. Civil cases on the recovery of alimony are considered both at the place of residence of the plaintiff and at the place of residence of the defendant. It is up to the plaintiff to decide which court to apply to. You can find out which justice of the peace will consider your statement of claim on the website of justices of the peace, for this you need to go to the section of territorial jurisdiction.
  • Data of the applicant (plaintiff): surname, name, patronymic, his place of residence. If the statement of claim is submitted by a representative, then his last name, first name, patronymic and address of residence;
  • Respondent's data: surname, name, patronymic, his place of residence;
  • The essence of the requirements, what the plaintiff requires from the defendant;
  • Substantiation of claims and supporting evidence;
  • List of documents attached to the claim.

Additionally, the statement of claim can include e-mail, telephones, faxes or other information about the defendant and the plaintiff, which will be useful for the consideration of this civil case. The petitions of the plaintiff or his representative may also be indicated in the statement of claim or filed as an independent document.

Important! The signature on the statement of claim is put by the plaintiff or his representative (if there is a power of attorney for this). The power of attorney to sign the claim and submit it to the court must be notarized. Without a power of attorney, a representative can only be a citizen in the presence of a lawyer's warrant.

Additional documents

To file a claim for the recovery of alimony, it is necessary to prepare a mandatory list of documents.

This list includes the following documents:

  • Photocopies of the claim with the application. The number of copies is determined by the number of parties to the claim, the court, the defendant and third parties;
  • If a representative is present in the case, then his power of attorney or attorney's order, which confirms the authority of this person.
  • Copies of birth or marriage (dissolution) certificates, as well as other documents confirming the circumstances specified in the claim.

Debt collection period

Statements of claim are submitted not only for the period of time following the filing of the statement of claim, but also for the previous periods. Amounts in the form of alimony can be collected for the last 36 months, until the filing of a claim.

You can recover child support for the last 36 months only if the plaintiff tried to collect money for the maintenance of the child, but the defendant avoided paying them. But why the plaintiff has not already applied to the court for recovery by force does not matter.

In this case, the main evidence is evidence of independent attempts to collect alimony for the maintenance of a minor child and, accordingly, the defendant evaded paying them. Personal correspondence between the parties or the testimony of witnesses can help here.

Even when the child reaches the age of majority, the alimony debt must be repaid.

Percentage or fixed amount of alimony

Before filing a claim, it is necessary to decide whether the alimony will be a fixed amount or a percentage of the salary and other income of the defendant. If the defendant is a businessman, then it is more profitable to receive a percentage of his earnings. After all, this percentage of earnings is enough to support and provide for a minor dependent.

Important! It must be remembered that it is necessary to confirm the earnings of the former spouse (wife) and the place of his (her) work.

A fixed payment will be more appropriate if the defendant hides his income and place of earning. In this case, it is necessary to calculate the amount in accordance with the needs of the minor dependent.

After you have made your choice and completed the Sample Collection Claim Form Money for the maintenance of a minor child, you can apply to the court. Do not forget that you need to confirm all the circumstances specified in the statement of claim with documents. If all the necessary documents are provided and the claim is properly drawn up, the court decision will be made in favor of the plaintiff.

Where to file a claim

As mentioned above, all statements of claim related to the recovery of maintenance obligations are the jurisdiction of the magistrate. In other judicial instances, this statement of claim will not be accepted for production.

The fact that the consideration of such applications, regardless of the amount of the claim and the place of registration of the parties, falls within the jurisdiction of justices of the peace, is enshrined in the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation (Article 23).

An important issue that must be resolved before filing a claim with the court is to which judicial district of the justice of the peace it is necessary to refer it.

As mentioned earlier, the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation provides for the right of the plaintiff to choose at what address to file a claim, at his place of residence or at the place of residence of the defendant.

Attention! For the most part, statements of claim for the recovery of funds for the maintenance of a minor child are filed at the place of residence of the applicant.

This choice is more convenient for the plaintiff, as it usually gets closer to the civil case. But if the defendant lives in another city, it is more profitable to file a statement of claim at the place of residence of the defendant and write statements about the consideration of the case in his absence. Thus, the case will be considered without the plaintiff, and the secretary of the court district will transfer the writ of execution independently to the bailiff service.

The amount of the state duty

The amount of the state fee is not stable when filing a statement of claim with the court for the recovery of alimony. The Tax Code of the Russian Federation in Article 333.19 establishes the amount of the state fee for filing a claim for the recovery of alimony equal to 150 rubles.

In the case of filing a claim for the recovery of funds for the maintenance of a minor child and spouse, the amount of the state fee will be 300 rubles.

Moreover, keep in mind that when filing the lawsuit itself in court, you do not need to pay a state fee, court decision it will be recovered from the defendant. In this case, the amount of the state fee will be established in a court decision.

Note! Exemption from paying the state fee is also provided for the following claims:

  • Increasing the amount of alimony;
  • On the recovery of funds to cover the costs associated with the illness of the child or an expensive operation;
  • On the collection of debts on alimony obligations.

Well, the largest state fee equal to 400 rubles is provided for in the case of filing a claim for the recovery of alimony jointly with others, for example, for divorce. In this case, the payment of the state fee falls on the plaintiff's shoulders and exemption from its payment is not provided.

Submission rules and possible decisions on acceptance

The filing of a claim with the court must be recorded on your copy of the application. To do this, you need to personally submit a statement of claim to the judicial district, and the secretary of the district will give you the date and number of incoming correspondence, as well as his signature.

Another way to file a claim without filing it in person is by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt. It will also not be superfluous if you draw up an inventory of attachments for this item. And after receiving your statement of claim at the judicial site, you will be returned a notice with the date of receipt.

Within five days from the date of receipt of the claim in court, the justice of the peace makes a decision on the application:

  • Accepts for production;
  • Refuses to accept the claim;
  • Returns the statement of claim;
  • Leaves the claim without movement.

But even if the justice of the peace issues a ruling on accepting the claim for proceedings, this does not mean that the decision on the case has been made in your favor, therefore we respond promptly to all court requests.
