Under what conditions can alimony for a child be awarded for the past time?

Share

Child alimony can be awarded for the past period provided that the plaintiff proves:

1. Efforts to obtain alimony: The plaintiff must provide evidence that they attempted to obtain alimony from the respondent but were unable to do so. Such evidence may include:

  • Written requests to the respondent for alimony payment.
  • Witness testimony about attempts to receive alimony.
  • Documents confirming efforts to locate the respondent's place of residence or work.

2. The respondent's refusal to provide support for the child: It must be proven that the respondent deliberately evaded their obligation to support the child. This can be confirmed by:

  • The absence of financial support from the respondent for a certain period.
  • Information about the concealment of income or employment.

Timeframe: The maximum period for which alimony can be awarded retroactively is three years.
