Alimony 20,000 UAH/month through court: proved the father's actual income

Collection of 20,000 UAH #alimony through the disclosure of real shadow income

Essence of the problem:
A client approached me for the collection of alimony for her child. The defendant (father) agreed to pay only 6,500 UAH, using certificates of minimum official salary and citing the maintenance of a new family. The formal "paper" income was minimal.

My legal strategy:
Instead of arguing with the official certificates from the employer, I focused on proving the actual standard of living and hidden income of the defendant:

Tax audit: I initiated the request for information from the tax authorities at the start of the process to capture the picture before the opponent began preparing for defense.

Disclosure of banking secrecy: Through the court, I obtained statements regarding the movement of funds from several banks (PrivatBank, Universal Bank, etc.).

Financial analysis: I conducted a detailed calculation of income over 16 months and proved to the court that regular deposits into the cards are systematic and represent real income that the defendant freely uses for household needs.

Results for the client:
Established real income: The court recognized my calculation and fixed the actual average monthly income of the defendant at over 87,000 UAH (instead of the declared 26,600 UAH).

Fair alimony: The court fully satisfied the claim and awarded a payment of 20,000 UAH monthly in a fixed cash amount (with subsequent indexing) until the child reaches adulthood.

Full compensation for the lawyer's services: As an additional decision, I achieved the collection from the defendant of 19,500 UAH to reimburse the plaintiff's expenses. Thus, my comprehensive annual support of the case became virtually free for the client.
