Determination of the Child Maintenance Obligations in Courts

The article examines the issues of the necessity to amend the RF FC in the sphere of alimentation in connection with the urgent problems that create preconditions for the violation of the rights of minor children and other persons entitled to receive support. The author makes an analysis of the points of view with regard to the problems of alimentation and reveals the most discussed areas of reform in this area taking into account legislative initiatives. The article justifies the reasonableness of transition from the shared system of calculation of child support to the system of calculation based on the basic rate of child support in the absence of a maintenance agreement. The article refers to the need for a total refusal from the cost-sharing system due to the social and economic situation changes as compared with the Soviet times. It is proposed to use the subsistence level as a base rate. The author explains the necessity of harmonization of such an approach not only to minor children but to other individuals that have right to child support.
