Parental rights and personal relationships with the child after divorce

    Provided that you are divorcing by mutual agreement, all the circumstances surrounding the child (for example, alimony, personal relationship with the child he or she will live with) must be agreed with an agreement that you have drawn up before. When you cannot reach agreement with your spouse, it is the court that will decide. If he deems it necessary, he will seek the opinion of an expert (psychologist) or the Social Assistance Directorate. The court will also hear from you and your spouse and your child, if he or she is 10 years old, and if he or she considers that neither of you is able to care for the child, he or she may be placed with a grandmother, grandfather or with other relatives and relatives, etc. The fact that the child is living outside his or her family does not relieve you from the payment of maintenance if you are sentenced to pay it. It is possible for the court to allow both parents to exercise their parental rights, if they have previously agreed. With regard to the amount of maintenance, it should not be below the statutory minimum, and it is 1/4 of the minimum wage. In the event that both parents cannot agree on the maintenance or it is not in the child's best interests and damages the child, it is the court that will determine its size.
