Divorce and Child Support Cases
In this case, the client requested assistance in filing for divorce and obtaining child support for two minor children. Legal support included drafting the lawsuit, court representation, and ensuring the enforcement of the court decision. The divorce process is complex and involves several stages: document preparation, filing a lawsuit in court, attending hearings, and ensuring the enforcement of the court ruling. Special attention must be paid to the issue of child support, as the court considers both parents' financial situation and the children's interests.
In reviewing the case, the court takes into account not only the financial status of the parents but also other factors such as the presence of other children, the health of the parties, and the special needs of the children. In cases where one of the parents avoids paying child support, additional measures may be applied, such as property seizure or restrictions on leaving the country.
In addition to the court ruling, it is essential to ensure the actual enforcement of the child support decision. This can be done through the enforcement service or voluntary compliance by the debtor. If the debtor fails to fulfill their obligations, the claimant has the right to turn to a state or private bailiff who will take appropriate measures to enforce the decision.
