Child support
In family law, child support (or child maintenance) is an ongoing, periodic payment made by a parent for the financial benefit of a child (or parent, caregiver, guardian, or state) following the end of a marriage or other relationship.
Child maintenance is paid directly or indirectly by an obligor to an obligee for the care and support of children of a relationship that has been terminated, or in some cases never existed.
Parental Care
The Relations of Parents and Children Law regulates all the relations of
parents with their children, personal, property, and moral.
The definition of the term ‘parental care’ in given by section 5.1(b) of the
Law, and it includes determination of the child’s name, care of the child, administration of the child’s property, and representation of the child in his personal or
property relations.
Property Rights After Separation
According to Cyprus law the property that a couple obtained during the marriage or before the marriage but in contemplation of it is dealt separately from the divorce proceedings. This means that even before a formal divorce is granted by the court, upon application, the division of family assets can take place.
