What to do
Child support: filing, arrears, raising the amount
Child support can be received under an agreement, a court order or a court judgment. The route depends on whether there is already a support document and whether the other parent pays. A child support attorney is needed when the payer hides income or contests the judgment; filing the application and recovering arrears can often be done without one.
- 01
Identify what you already have
An agreement, a court order, a court decision or nothing. The next step depends on this.
- 02
Gather documents
The child's birth certificate, documents on the payer's income if known, and proof of spending on the child.
- 03
A court order if there is no dispute
A court order is issued without summoning the parties, when the amount is the standard one and the payer does not object.
- 04
A lawsuit if you need a different amount
A lawsuit is needed for a fixed sum, a share above the standard one, or when the payer objects to the recovery.
- 05
Send the document for enforcement
If child support is not paid voluntarily, the decision is passed to an enforcement officer, who can recover it from income and property.
- 06
Keep track of the arrears
Child support arrears are recovered together with a penalty for each day of delay; the enforcement officer calculates the arrears.
This is the general order of steps. The analysis of your situation will show what applies to you and which deadlines apply in your case.
What the conclusion covers
A Jurly conclusion on your situation
In a conclusion on child support, Jurly determines which route fits you: an agreement, a court order or a claim. It estimates the amount, lists the documents for the application and, if support is already awarded but unpaid, sets out the enforcement steps and the calculation of arrears.
The analysis of your situation is free. A written conclusion costs UAH 199; you see the price before paying.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum child support for a child?
The minimum is tied to the subsistence minimum for a child of the relevant age and changes with it.
Can child support be collected from a service member?
Yes. Child support is deducted from a service member's pay in the same way as from a salary; the documents are submitted to their place of service.
What if child support is not being paid?
The steps depend on whether there is a court decision and whether enforcement proceedings are open: without a decision you start with an application to the court, with one you go to the enforcement officer.
Can child support be increased?
Yes, if circumstances have changed: the child's expenses, the payer's income, health. A court decides this.
How much do the analysis and the conclusion cost?
The analysis of your situation is free. A written Jurly conclusion costs UAH 199, and you see the price before paying. A lawyer consultation can be booked separately; the lawyer sets its price.
Do I need to choose a lawyer right away?
No. First you get an analysis of your situation. You can book a consultation later or not at all.
