In this regard, there was a need for judicial protection of the rights of the client and the child.

The client’s problem

The main problem was that the marital relationship between the parties had effectively ended, but legally the marriage remained valid.

In addition, the child’s father did not provide proper financial support for the minor child, which created the need to apply to court with a claim for recovery of child support.

Without a court decision, the client could not properly settle the issue of ending the marriage and ensure stable financial support for the child.
