Recovering child support: where to start

Parents are obliged to support their minor children. If this obligation is not fulfilled voluntarily, the question of recovering child support arises.

The first option is a notarized agreement between the parties. It is quicker and does less harm to the relationship between them.

The second option is to apply to the court. The application is usually accompanied by the birth certificate, marriage or divorce documents and information about the respondent’s income.

The amount of support and the list of documents depend on the circumstances, so it is worth consulting a lawyer before filing.
