Umthetho uhlinzekela i-athikili engayenza ukuba abashadile noma izihlobo zangaphambili bahlale beshade noma ezinye izihlobo ngokuzikhokhela izinkokhelo ezithile. Ngemuva kokuhlukanisa, isibonelo, lowo oshade naye angadingeka akhokhe imali yokugcinwa kwezingane. Ngokujwayelekile ukukhokhelwa kwe-alimony ngemuva kokuhlukanisa kwenziwa kuze kube yilapho iningi lezingane, kodwa kunamacala uma ukulingana kubhalwa isikhathi eside. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkantolo ingayifaka ukugcina umlingani wangaphambili, uyikhokhele isikhathi esithile noma impilo. Kukhona amacala lapho izingane zidingeka futhi ukusekela abazali bazo.
Kuze kube yimanje, umyalelo kanye nenani lezinkokhelo zesondlo zokugcinwa kwabashadile, izingane, abazali abaqaliwe kuphela yinkantolo. Enye ivolontiya inqume ukuphetha isivumelwano mayelana nokunye, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi ukhona.
Abantu abashade basebenzisana nabo, bavuma ukuthi bakhokhe ukukhokhela izingane kuze kube yilapho befinyelela eminyakeni engama-14. U-Alimony uthola oshade naye ingane ehlala naye. Lapho uneminyaka engu-14, phakathi kwengane nomzali (okungekho ingane engaphila kuyo) yisivumelwano esenza ukuba umzali akhokhe imali yokukhokha. Kulolu daba, imvume yomzali ingane ehlala kuyo noma imvume yomgcini noma umlondolozi iyadingeka futhi kuphela isivumelwano nesibopho somntwana singaphetha.
Ukukhokhwa kwe-alimony kwenziwa inyangazonke ngesimo sephesenti elinqunyiwe lemali engenayo yomzali. Amaphesenti angama-25 emali engenayo ibalwa uma i-alimony ikhokhelwe ukugcinwa kwengane eyodwa kuphela. Ukuze kulondolozwe izingane ezimbili ezivela emalini engenayo, 33% ibalwa. Izingane ezintathu noma ngaphezulu ezivela engenayo zibala 50%. Kufanele kuqaphele ukuthi kwezinye izimo, i-alimony ayikhokhwa ngesimo sephesenti elithile lemali engenayo. Kulesi simo, isivumelwano phakathi kwabazali sibonisa inani elikhokhwayo lokukhokha. Ngezinye izikhathi inani elithile elikhokhwayo lokukhokha lisungulwa enkantolo. Isinqumo esinjalo senkantolo sivumela ukuqinisekisa ukugcinwa kwezintshisekelo zomntanakho nokugcina izinga lokuphepha kwemali elasekhona ngaphambi kokuqedwa komshado. Ngesinye isikhathi izidakamizwa, ngaphansi kwesivumelwano sabaqashi bomshado, zikhokhwa ngendlela yezindleko ezibizayo (indlu, imoto, imoto) ebunini bomntwana.
Ezimweni lapho abazali bengavumelani khona bese bethola inani lokukhokha kanye nenqubo yokukhokha, oshade naye (osengumntwana ohlala naye) uhambisa isicelo enkantolo, bese imali nenqubo isungulwa izinkantolo.
Uma imigomo yesivumelwano ingahlonishwa, futhi uma imigomo yesivumelwano ingqubuzana nezintshisekelo zomntanakho, umuntu othakazelayo usebenza enkantolo lapho ecela ukuqoqa u-alimony kumuntu owakwakho ngaphambili. Abanye basebenzela enkantolo ngokukhansela kwesivumelwano noma ngesicelo sokuchibiyela isivumelwano ngokuvumelana.
Ngokufanayo, oshade naye, onomthwalo wokugcina nokukhulisa ingane encane, unesibopho sokuthatha zonke izinyathelo zokuqoqa okuhambisana nalezi zinhloso.
Umzali, oye wahlala nengane, ngeke enqabe ukwamukela umlingani kumuntu owakwakho wokuqala (kwezinye izimo, omunye wabashade naye wenqaba ukwamukela ukulingana) ekugcineni ingane. Njengoba ukwenqaba komlingani ukuthola ukwesekwa kungukuphula umthetho waseRussia.
Uma ukuxhaswa kwabantwana kungakhokhiwe ukugcinwa kwezingane futhi akukho nhlangano ethatha noma yiziphi izinyathelo, iziphathimandla zikahulumeni zokugcina umnyango kanye nabalondolozi zingenele esimweni. Ngesandla sabo, banesimangalo, ngesicelo sokuqoqa ukugcinwa kwengane i-alimony kumzali (ngezinye izikhathi kokubili) angakwazi ukubhekana nenkantolo.
Uma izingane ezimbili noma ngaphezulu zishadile futhi ngemuva kokuhlukanisa nomzali ngamunye, ingane eyodwa isele, umngane womshado ophansi kakhulu unelungelo lokufuna isondlo kumuntu oshade naye enkantolo. Inani lemali yokukhokha lisungulwa yinkantolo futhi likhokhwa njalo ngenyanga. Ngaphambi kokwenza isinqumo, inkantolo ihlola izimo zokuphila zezingane kubabili bobazali.
