Art. 180 of the Family Code of Ukraine imposes on both parents the obligation to support the child until he or she reaches the age of majority. This obligation is unconditional and does not depend on the parents' marriage (to each other or to third parties), the presence of other dependent children, etc. Therefore, even if a parent remarries and has other children, he/she is still obliged to pay child support.
As a general rule, parents are obliged to support their children (including alimony) until the children reach the age of 18. However, there are exceptions. For example, according to Article 199 of the Family Code of Ukraine, if an adult daughter or son continues their education and therefore needs financial assistance, parents are obliged to support them until they reach the age of twenty-three, provided that they are able to provide financial assistance.
