4 ways to find out if your wife filed for alimony
Very rarely, but this can sometimes happen - the wife filed for alimony without the knowledge of her husband.

But if this happened, then you need to know how to act and what to do in such a situation.
What to do if the wife filed for alimony?
If alimony has already been assigned. the court made a decision and sent the payer to the accounting department according to the place of work to collect a certain amount appointed by the court from his salary. At first, court employees can disturb him with calls, letters, and if this does not work, then they come personally to the address of registration, residence and official place of work of the payer.
But in the event that the payer has not faced a lawsuit in his name and the bailiffs have not yet “caught his eye”, and the money from his fixed salary slowly but rapidly leaving, it is worth thinking and finding out what's the matter. Especially if the debtor and his wife have a child in common and there is a possibility that she thought that the father was not sufficiently involved in the process of raising the child. And if there is such a chance, then the application for alimony should not come as a surprise. This usually happens when the husband often travels on business trips or has an irregular work schedule. There are 4 not tricky ways to find out if a wife has sued for alimony.
All these methods are aimed at just confirming the alimony payer's guesses. When, for example, in the accounting department he was told that the amount was withheld for alimony by a court decision. The court, in turn, must provide a certified copy of the decision. Sometimes only a notification comes to the place of work, and then the payer will have to find out the truth on his own. But if the information came in the form of a decision, then he can review it and make sure that there really is a decision on recovery.
Go to court
Information about the decision of the court is available to everyone. But the problem is that the wife did not notify her husband of the application. This is possible only if there is indisputable evidence from the wife that the husband does not participate at all in the life and upbringing of the child.

Initially, alimony can be arranged in two ways: through a peace agreement. certified by a notary or through a court decision. But since the wife has filed a lawsuit, and the payer was not invited there, then one can only hope that the amount of payments is not too large.

There is a possibility that the payer will discover that the court at his place of residence did not consider this case. Then he needs to apply to the world court at the place of residence of his wife or her registration.
After the debtor has found out the address of the court, he needs to come to the office and ask for a copy of the court decision in the case of the full name of his wife. Everything is simple, and court employees should issue a document without any problems after confirming the identity of the applicant.

This is a relatively simple way, it can be done quickly without leaving your place of work or home.
Both of the above methods are applicable for all cases, but only if the payer did not communicate with the bailiffs or did not personally provide the document.
How to find out about alimony through accounting?
If the accounting department received a notification that a certain amount must be withheld from the alimony payer from the salary, then it is quite possible to rely on this document. Also, a copy of the court order must be sent along with it. If it is not available, then you can contact the contacts indicated in the notification. Or just clarify this information from your company accountant.

How to find out if the ex-wife filed for alimony or not?
The fact that civil proceedings have been initiated in the case of the recovery of funds in the interests of a minor or other dependent, the potential payer is usually informed by the competent authorities by sending an official letter to him. But sometimes the parent is not made aware that he is a defendant in a civil case or a debtor in an enforcement proceeding. How do I know if my wife has filed for child support? There are several ways that will be discussed in this article.
The issue of collecting alimony for potential payers becomes key. In order to avoid complications in office work, the formation of debts and other negative factors topical solution it becomes timely receipt of information about the filed claim from the wife or through the court.
Procedure through the court
The easiest way to find out if an ex-wife has filed for child support is to ask her personally. However, if communication is not supported or there are suspicions of deliberate concealment of information, this option will not work for potential payers. The procedure in this situation depends on the conditions for applying to the court on the part of the ex-wife:
- lawsuit proceedings - the court informs the defendant about the start of the alimony recovery process and sets the time for the hearing, the procedure requires the presence of both parties;
- order of consideration of the case - the process proceeds without calling the parties, the decision is sent to the defendant by mail.
However, the notification may arrive late or get lost altogether, which is relevant if the respondent does not live at the specified address. To check whether the ex-spouse has filed for alimony is allowed by a personal appeal to a judicial institution.
It's important to know...
To do this, you should take into account the specifics of office work. Alimony claim filed to the world court predominantly at the place of residence of the defendant. However, the wife, referring to the lack of information or the long distance, if we are talking about another city or region, has the right to apply for alimony at the place of his own residence.
Information about initiated cases is posted on a special stand in the courthouse, it can be used to find out if the ex-wife filed for alimony. Similar information is posted on the official websites of judicial institutions.
Contacting the bailiff service
You can contact the bailiff service to find out if the ex-wife has filed for alimony in the case when judicial review The case is over and a decision has been made. However, there is a certain nuance - a writ of execution can be sent to the bailiff service, but it can also be issued to the plaintiff.
In the second situation, the performers will not be able to find out whether the wife has filed for alimony until she initiates the recovery procedure. The process is carried out by bailiffs at the place of residence of the defendant - you can also get information about all penalties through a personal visit or on the official website of the service.
Unlike court proceedings, the executive implies the obligatory notification of the defendant about the recovery of alimony in favor of the wife and child. The bailiff is obliged not only to receive written confirmation of the information provided to the defendant, but also to conduct an oral conversation and find out the possibilities of voluntary fulfillment of obligations.
In some situations, you can find out if the wife has filed for alimony. through the employer. If the court decision implies a percentage withholding of payments from wages, the collection procedure is carried out through the accounting department of the company in which the payer works.
To do this, the wife submits an application for withholding alimony with a copy of the writ of execution. The defendant is usually notified by the employer or responsible officer of the withholding of part of the salary. Receive necessary information you can personally.
What to do if the wife filed for alimony?
If the ex-wife filed for alimony, the order of his own actions becomes an urgent issue for the potential payer. The main emphasis is on the collection of documents and objections that he can file in response to his wife's alimony claim.
The first thing the defendant should find out for himself is what goal he sets for himself in the course of court proceedings and what concessions his wife can make. In accordance with this, the relevant documents are collected and submitted.
In this situation, there are three common delusions:
- the absence of an official job exempts from paying alimony - if the payer has no income, he is charged with debts, on the basis of which deprivation of a driver’s license follows, a ban on leaving the country, arrest and sale of property to pay off alimony;
- low official salary and a low share of deductions - you can apply for alimony in a fixed form, depending on the material wealth and needs of the child;
- more than the court orders, the wife will not receive - the law allows the plaintiff to file documents with the court for coverage by the payer additional costs wife related to the life support of the child.
In a situation where the wife has filed for alimony, a number of principles on which it is recommended that the defendant act:
- do not ignore the court session - the decision is made even without a potential payer, and in the absence of him and the line of defense - clearly not in his favor;
- prepare and submit all possible documents that can affect the decision of the court, it is recommended to seek advice from a qualified lawyer;
- examine the wife's claim for alimony and file objections to the disputed points.
If the resolution on recovery is received without the participation of the parties through writ proceedings, the defendant has the right to file an application for appeal against it within ten days. This aspect is relevant in a situation where the payer was not notified by the court or the wife about the initiation of the case.
In the process of defense, the defendant has the right to ask for a reduction in the amount of alimony assigned. For this, they serve the documents showing:
- about temporary or permanent incapacity for work, which does not allow you to fully satisfy the requirements of your wife and provide your share in the maintenance of the child;
- about the presence of other minor children, dependents, loan obligations and factors that require significant expenses;
- about the difficult financial situation, the lack of a stable and sufficient income, the difference in well-being between the plaintiff and the defendant.
It is emphasized that the lack of work or low earnings are not grounds for exemption from the payment of alimony or the appointment of a symbolic amount. The court takes into account all the factors that make it possible to determine the possibilities for the participation of parents in providing for the child.
Objections are submitted in free form, it is recommended to focus on a clear and competent presentation of the position. The defendant highlights those points in his wife's claim with which he agrees or disagrees, and also submits to the court his options for resolving the situation and paying alimony.
What to do if the wife does not file for alimony?
Many potential payers are confused by the situation when the wife does not file for alimony. There is a fear that the problem is accumulating and will result in serious consequences. In this context, attention is drawn to a number of aspects that should be fixed or avoided.
The recovery of alimony is calculated from the moment the claim is filed with the court. However, if the wife proves that she has previously tried to arrange for her husband's participation in the provision of the child, but was refused, the payments will be collected retroactively for the previous three years.
The relevant documents will be the grounds confirming the defendant's evasion from paying alimony. Among them are testimonies, telephone records, paper and electronic correspondence - any evidence showing the wife's attempts to resolve the issue on her own.
The husband can confirm his participation in providing for the child by presenting receipts, payment documents, receipts and other evidence of expenses incurred in favor of the minor. Demonstrates participation in the maintenance of the child.
Many fathers themselves try to help their children and, faced with a wife's refusal to accept money, wonder about their options. It is also recommended that such situations be documented. The legislation does not allow filing for alimony for himself, but the father has the right to sue his wife, appealing to the inability to participate in the upbringing of the child and fulfill parental responsibilities.
If the wife accepts money, but all payments are made on a voluntary basis, it is recommended to pay attention to the following actions:
- keep all payment documents for expenses for the child - receipts for the purchase of things, payment for tuition, circles and sections;
- create a bank account in the name of the child and transfer alimony to him, receiving proof of participation in providing the child with money;
- come to a joint compromise and submit documents to a notary for a voluntary agreement on the payment of funds for the maintenance of the child.
As a rule, the issues of payment of alimony are resolved by the parents mutually, but in practice there may be cases when the legal representative of the child applies for alimony without the knowledge of the parent living separately. Since ignorance of the law is no excuse, a parent may find themselves in debt due to ignorance. It will not be possible to cancel it, therefore, if there are suspicions about the start of enforcement proceedings, it is better to independently search for information about the assigned alimony payments.
Ways to obtain the necessary information:
- Appeal to the accountant of the enterprise at the official place of work. initially transferred to the accountant of the company, where monthly deductions begin to be made in favor of the recipient of funds. The accountant will show a copy of the executive document and report on the terms and conditions for the transfer of money.
- Appeal to the court in which the hearing took place. To obtain the information of interest, it is enough to present your passport, confirming the transfer.
- Appeal to the territorial office of the Federal Bailiff Service. Any person can apply to the FSSP with a passport and an application for (including alimony).
- Familiarization with information about the availability of enforcement proceedings on the official website of the FSSP. The site will require the last name and first name of the alimony, after which the data will appear on the page. Lack of information does not guarantee that child support is not assigned, since online data updates are delayed.
Another option - the easiest - is to communicate with a spouse living separately. Since the legal representative of the child himself is not interested in accumulating debt, you can call and agree on the appointment of monthly transfers. If payments are assigned forcibly, then you can ask the parent living separately to report on the appointment of alimony.
