From what time is child support awarded?

In Ukraine, child alimony is awarded by the court from the day the lawsuit is filed. If an application for the issuance of a court order is submitted, alimony is awarded from the day the application is filed.

Alimony for the past period:

• The court can award alimony for the past period, but no more than three years, if the plaintiff provides evidence that they took steps to obtain alimony but were unable to receive them due to the respondent's refusal to pay.
