Increasing the amount of child support

Due to changes in the life and financial situation of the parents, there may be a need to increase the amount of child support.

This is a legal process that can be complicated but is very important to ensure that your child is properly cared for.

Our law firm is ready to support you in this matter.

What situations may cause the need to increase alimony?

Situations that may cause the need for an increase in child support include:

1. Change in parents' income.

• Change of workplace, and additional payments, which may affect the financial condition of the father or mother.

2. An increase in child support costs.

• Change in expenses for education, medical care, nutrition, and other needs of a child that requires additional financial resources.

3. Change of circumstances.

• The occurrence of unforeseen circumstances, such as a serious illness or accident, may require additional costs for the care and treatment of the child.

4. Indexation and inflation.

• An increase in the prices of basic goods and services can affect the cost of maintaining a child and requires adaptation of the amount of alimony.

Given these situations, parents may need to apply to the court to review and increase the amount of alimony, ensuring proper care and comfort for the child in changing circumstances.

How is the amount of alimony determined?

The determination of the amount of child support is based on several factors that take into account the financial situation of both parents and the needs of the child.

Here are the key aspects:

1. Financial status of parents.

• The income of both parents is an important factor. Income declarations submitted to the court allow for establishing the general financial status of each parent.

2. Expenses for education, medical care, food, and other needs of the child.

• To determine the real needs of the child, the costs of education, medical care, food, clothing, and other necessary costs related to the well-being and health of the child are taken into account.

3. Individual needs of the child.

• If the child has specific needs or expenses related to, for example, medical problems or special educational needs, this is also taken into account when determining the amount of child support.

After taking into account these factors, the court makes a decision on the amount of alimony that it considers appropriate and fair in the specific circumstances. It is important to note that this process can vary by jurisdiction and the specific details of each case.
