Attention! All demands for the collection of alimony for minor children, not related to establishing paternity, challenging paternity (maternity) or the need to involve other interested parties, are formalized only in the form of an application for the issuance of a court order for the collection of alimony ( the federal law dated March 2, 2016 N 45-FZ).
All filed claims for the collection of alimony will be returned by the courts ( ). To collect alimony, file an application for a court order. Statement of claim the collection of alimony is issued only in cases of cancellation of the court order or when the debtor pays alimony for other years.
Note! |
The right to file such a claim is enjoyed by parents, guardians, administration of child care institutions, and government bodies acting in the interests of the child.
If the father or mother is collecting child support, prerequisite is their cohabitation with children. This parent must support the child at his own expense, and the support from the other parent is insufficient or completely absent. It doesn’t matter whether the parents live together or separately, whether they are married or already divorced. The main thing here will be the absence financial assistance for the maintenance of children.
If a child, for some reason, is left without parental care, then his guardian will have the right to collect alimony. The guardian must officially have this status, confirmed by documents from the guardianship authorities. If a child lives with relatives or other people without legal guardianship, these people do not have the right to collect alimony until they officially become guardians.
Note! |
To draw up a statement of claim for the recovery of child support, a minimum number of documents are required. The most important of them is the birth certificate. A birth certificate confirms the presence of parents of a child, the right of one of them to make demands for child support and the obligation of the second to pay them.
If the child’s father is not included in the birth certificate or is included there only at the request of the mother (without his consent), it will not be possible to simply collect alimony. Paternity will need to be established. For this purpose, another statement of claim is filed.
Note! |
Guardians, in addition to the birth certificate, must attach a document establishing guardianship. If alimony is collected for several children, then birth certificates for each of them are attached.
Another document attached to the application for the collection of alimony is a certificate from the housing authorities from the child’s place of residence. This document confirms. that the plaintiff and the child live together, and the child is supported by this parent. If the child is registered at a different address, this must be indicated in the text of the statement of claim.
The next document attached to the application for alimony is a certificate of marriage or divorce. This document is not so mandatory, but it will confirm the plaintiff’s arguments about the presence or absence cohabitation and assistance from the parent obligated to pay child support.
It is important! |
It would be good if, when collecting alimony, the plaintiff encloses a certificate from the defendant’s place of work about the amount of his earnings for 1 year. This will allow the court to calculate the state duty payable by the defendant and indicate information about his place of work in the writ of execution, which will speed up the subsequent collection of alimony.
After drawing up the statement of claim, make a copy of it for the defendant. This full list documents required to collect alimony for a child or several children in judicial procedure. However, situations may be different; if in the text of the statement of claim the plaintiff mentions some other circumstances, he will have to attach documents confirming his own arguments.
All documents are attached to the statement of claim in the form of simple copies. The original documents will then need to be submitted to court hearing.
To draw up an application, download a sample from our website. Fill it out. In this case, you can indicate only the data provided by us or bring your position on the collection of alimony to the court in more detail.
When drawing up a statement of claim, you can type it on a computer or write it down by hand. Enter all information about yourself, the defendant and children in full, without any abbreviations (this especially applies to full name and residential address). Indicate the address where everyone actually lives. The court will send summonses to appear at the hearing to these addresses. If possible, include telephone numbers, both yours and the defendant's. This will help the court notify everything more quickly.
Be sure to include the title of your application - or Statement of claim for collection of child support.
When filing your claims, you should take into account that alimony is collected from the moment the application is submitted to the court. You can ask for recovery for a longer period of time, but there must be very compelling reasons for this. Read more about such reasons in another article.
In addition to determining the amount of alimony to be collected as a share of earnings, it can also be collected in a specific monetary amount. For this purpose, the law establishes certain conditions. We brought these conditions and gave detailed recommendations with attached images of statements of claim in the corresponding article.
Note! |
At the end of the statement of claim, you must indicate the date of its preparation and put your signature.
There are often situations where the defendant is already paying child support from his first marriage. In such situations, the question arises: how to correctly draw up an application for the collection of alimony for your children?
The statement of claim for the collection of child support in this case is drawn up in a similar way. Additionally, you need to indicate the recipient of alimony for other children as a third party, write down the details of these children (full name and date of birth) and provide details of the documents grounds for collecting alimony (court order, court decision or agreement).
If you do not know the exact data, please provide the information you know. The court is obliged to clarify the issue of alimony payments for other children in a court hearing and involve the recipient of alimony as a third party to participate in your case. Indicating the most complete information in your application will allow the case to be considered in court more quickly.
All claims for alimony are considered only by justices of the peace. This is their jurisdiction. IN district court such a claim will not be accepted. Filing a claim for alimony with the magistrate does not depend on the place of residence of the plaintiff and defendant, or on the amount of alimony being collected. Jurisdiction is specifically enshrined in the article of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.
The second issue that needs to be resolved when filing a claim is to choose a magistrate who is authorized to hear this case. The article of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation establishes the rule that the plaintiff can choose a magistrate to file a claim for alimony at his place of residence or at the place of residence of the defendant.
Most often, a statement of claim for the collection of child support is filed with the magistrate at the plaintiff’s place of residence. It's more convenient and simpler. You can always easily get to the court hearing and resolve other issues with the magistrate in person. However, sometimes it is more profitable to file a claim for alimony at the defendant’s place of residence. In this case, you can avoid appearing in court by writing a statement to consider the case in your absence; in addition, the writ of execution will quickly reach the bailiffs.
Note! |
When filing a statement of claim, the magistrate must necessarily record the fact of its transfer. You can come in person during reception hours to the magistrate’s station and submit a statement of claim for the recovery of alimony against signature on your copy (that is, in this case you need to bring with you another copy of the statement).
The second option for submitting documents is to send them by mail. In this case, you should issue a registered letter with a list of attachments and a notification of delivery. In this case, the plaintiff will have confirmation that the application was accepted at the magistrate’s station.
Note! |
The magistrate, after receiving the statement of claim, will decide on its acceptance. If everything is in order, the claim will be accepted, the plaintiff will receive notice of the time and place of the court hearing to consider the claim for the recovery of child support.
However, the decision to accept a claim may not always be resolved positively; in this case, the plaintiff will need to promptly respond to the actions of the magistrate.
By general rule The magistrate must consider the claim for the collection of child support within 1 month after its acceptance. To consider the case, a court hearing is scheduled, to which the plaintiff and defendant are invited.
When considering the case, the court finds out whether the plaintiff has the right to collect alimony, whether the defendant is obliged to pay it, whether the child receives the necessary maintenance from the parents and determines the amount of this maintenance.
The consideration of the case ends with a decision. With this decision, the court collects alimony or refuses to satisfy the requirements. The magistrate always formalizes the decision only in the operative part. If the persons participating in the case do not understand the court’s conclusions and want to familiarize themselves with the arguments in detail, they must submit a corresponding application.
The court decision comes into force and is subject to execution 1 month after its issuance, unless there is a complaint. And in the case of an appeal, the decision comes into force on the day the case is considered by the appellate authority.
It is not enough to file a claim in court and receive a court decision to collect child support. Such a decision must also be executed, that is, alimony must be withheld from the defendant. Alimony can be paid by the defendant voluntarily. However, most often you have to do this forcibly.
After the decision enters into legal force, you need to obtain a writ of execution and present it to the bailiff service or resolve the issue of withholding alimony in another way (submit the writ of execution to the organization at the defendant’s place of work).
We described the procedure for obtaining alimony after a court decision is made in a separate article.

The main responsibility of parents is to support their children. Capable family members must take care of their relatives who are not able to provide for themselves. This is taught in the family from childhood, and the same opinion is reflected in the legislation of the Russian Federation.
But it happens that parents and families refuse to help their incompetent relatives. To protect the rights of these persons, the law of the Russian Federation provides for a system for calculating payments and deducting funds for their maintenance.
The Family Code of the Russian Federation in 2016 obliges the parent who refuses to voluntarily provide for his child. In some cases, deductions fall on one of the able-bodied guardians, or on persons divorcing the marriage.
