In the executive document, the court writes the amount of alimony that the parent from whom alimony is collected must pay every month for the maintenance of the child.
The amount of alimony can be prescribed in a marriage contract or in an Agreement on children, an agreement on the payment of alimony. When there are no such agreements, alimony is collected as a percentage of the parent’s earnings and (or) other income per month: for 1 child — 25%, for two children — 33%, for three or more children — 50%.
The minimum amount of alimony for able-bodied parents has been determined as a percentage of the subsistence minimum on average per capita: at least 50% — for 1 child, at least 75% — for two children, 100% — for three or more children.
From August 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023, the budget of the subsistence minimum on average per capita is 364 rubles. 40 kopecks.
There may be a situation when children stay with each of the parents. In this case, alimony is collected from the better-off parent in favor of the less well-off in a fixed amount, taking into account the material and marital status of the parents.
When the court can reduce the amount of alimony
When the alimony payer has other children who will become less financially secure, the court may reduce the amount of alimony. When the alimony payer is a disabled person of group I or II, the court may reduce the amount of alimony or completely exempt from payment.
