Claim for child support for a second child
Claiming child support for a second child has its own nuances that differ from the initial application to the court. If the father or mother already pays child support for one child, the question arises when the second child is born: how to properly file a claim, what documents are needed, and how the recalculation is made.

A claim for child support for a second child requires consideration of existing obligations and careful legal documentation.

Our legal marketplace Consultant will help you file a claim quickly and conveniently — without unnecessary bureaucracy and with minimal time expenditure.
How to file a claim for child support for a second child: step-by-step guide
The procedure for filing a claim for child support for a second child is slightly different from the standard procedure.
It is important to consider the following steps:
- Preparation of documents: birth certificate of the second child, certificate of the defendant's income (if available), documents confirming the child's residence with the plaintiff.
- Drafting the statement of claim: it is important to indicate that this is a claim for child support for the second child, taking into account existing payments.
- Filing a claim with the court: usually at the place of residence of the defendant or the claimant (in some cases).
- Court proceedings and decision.
On the Consultant platform, you can order a service to prepare a complete set of documents or consult a specialist lawyer who will take your individual situation into account.
The amount of child support for a second child: how the amount is determined
When awarding child support for a second child, the court takes into account:
- the existing obligations of one of the parents (e.g., child support for the first child);
- the total income of the person paying child support;
- the needs of both children;
- the existence of additional expenses (medical treatment, education, etc.).
According to the law, child support can be determined as a fixed amount or as a percentage of income (for example, 1/3 of earnings if there are two children).
The lawyers at the Consultant legal marketplace will help you accurately calculate the expected amount of child support and prepare a well-founded application taking into account all the details.
