Divorce isn't such a tragedy. A tragedy's staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce.

Question

I am married for the second time and have a child from the first marriage. I pay 25% to the child. I also have a child from the second marriage. My wife doesn’t work. Can I reduce alimony payments?

!
Answer

You are entitled to apply for reduction of alimony payments to a court (Art. 81, 119 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation). In case your claim is settled you alimony payments to your first wife will make 1/6 of all your income.
