Parental rights and obligations regarding child support and child custody:

It is crucial to understand the rights and obligations of parents in situations such as alimony and child custody. Both parents are obligated to pay alimony, but for the most part men pay alimony to the woman when they are separated or living together. Alimony includes food, education and clothing. Both parents have the obligation of custody, i.e. to take care of the children, but when parents separate or divorce, the care of the children depends on who the children are entrusted to, according to agreements or judgments of family judges. Our legal team is committed to advising our clients on these issues, ensuring that all legal obligations are met and children's rights are protected at all times.
