Alimony obligations
between former spouses and other family members
Maintenance obligations have a deep
history and they are known from antiquity. In ancient Greece and ancient Rome,
there was only the father's responsibility for their own child. Then installed
the duty of children have parents in old age or in the event of failure to
perform any act or illness. In Rome, as one of the centers of the civil law, a
gradual decrease in the absolute power of the father of the family members led
to legislative codification of the mandatory content of some other relatives
according to legal marriage or consanguinity and illegitimate children - a
mother and her parents.
Parents are required to maintain their
minor children in the event of deviation from the performance of their duties,
alimony recovered from them in court.
The subject of legal relations are that
may arise between the various family members (parents, children, brothers,
sisters, grandparents, caregivers and actual etc.)
Alimony relationships occur not only
between parents and children, but also between other family members. According
to Article 1 of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on marriage (matrimony)
and family of claim 8- a person under eighteen years of age (age) [1].
Therefore, the duty of parents to maintain their minor children is
unconditional, even if they are financially secure, for example, are dependent
on grandparents, do work and have sufficient earnings.
If the parents are divorced
themselves contain their children or in case of divorce or together did not
reach agreement on the amount and manner of such content, in this case, they
may be recovered by a court alimony in favor of minors. According gl.20 st.149
of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on marriage (matrimony) and family
the size of the RK court alimony exacted from parents for the benefit of minor
children for one child is one-quarter to one-third of children with two, three
or more children, half of the earnings or other income of the parents. Size
statutory share can be increased or decreased by the court taking into account
the family or financial position of the parties or other relevant
circumstances. Alimony paid until the children reach the age of eighteen.
Further, if the children are disabled and in need of child support, the parents
are obliged to maintain them. If parents do not voluntarily pay child support,
the court makes them forcibly. In this case, the amount of support is
determined by the court as a fixed sum and depends on the financial and marital
status of parents and children.
According to the Constitution of
the Republic of Kazakhstan and family law, not only the parents are obliged to
support children and pay child support, but adult children, too, are required
to pay and keep their disabled, needy parents, grandparents, siblings, etc [2].
It was mentioned above the actual
caregivers. Matveev P.A argues actual teachers as persons involved in the
upbringing and maintenance of minors without assigning their guardian.
Obligation to pay alimony to their actual teachers assigned to their former
pupils regardless of whether they have the means to pay alimony. This is due to
the fact that between the actual teachers and pupils usually awkward
relationship, similar to those that exist between parents and children: the
actual students become members of the family of the actual teachers and provide
them with the latest content, regardless of whether they have the necessary
funds. Therefore, students are required to provide the actual content of the
persons financially support them as a child, regardless of the level of its
security.
As the actual educators can act as a
foreign child of the person or distant relatives are not required by law to
provide it with content, and family members are obliged to support the child, -
grandparents, brothers and sisters. If grandparents, brothers or sisters involved
in the upbringing and maintenance of children, they have the right to sue for
alimony to their content as actual caregivers, as in this case their right to
alimony will not depend on whether the students the necessary funds. [3]
Summing up, maintenance obligations in our
time becomes the most important issue. In turn, it is associated with cash
payments to children after a divorce spouses. These relationships arise between
parents and children, and other family members. Family break up, husbands refuse to pay
maintenance.
Thus, financial, or child support -
not a mercy from the parent. It is his duty. And if a parent is faulty executes
the duty of the other parent shall be recovered from him alimony should not
feel remorse: he acts in the interests of the child and exercises his right to
receive material content
