    澳大利亚离婚赡养费

    当关系破裂后,由于双方在婚姻或事实伴侣关系中的分工不同,一方的收入可能远高于另一方,这种情况下,收入较低的一方可能需要经济支持以维持正常生活。为了保护弱势一方的权益,澳大利亚的家庭法体系允许需要经济支持的一方申请离婚赡养费(Spousal Maintenance)。

    需要注意的是,离婚赡养费与子女抚养费(Child Support)是完全不同的法律概念:子女抚养费是针对未成年子女的生活费用,而离婚赡养费则是针对前配偶的经济支持。它的具体法律要求如下:

    申请方必须有经济需求

    首先,申请离婚赡养费的一方需要证明自己存在经济需求。例如,如果申请方每周收入为 $200,但每周基本生活开支为 $500,则存在 $300 的差额,这 $300 可作为申请的基数。申请方需提供明确的财务证明来支持这一主张。

    对方需要有赡养能力

    其次,另一方必须有足够的收入支付赡养费。这意味着,在满足自己的基本开支后,对方还需有剩余收入能够承担合理的赡养费用。例如,如果对方每周收入 $1,000,基本生活开支为 $500,而申请方的合理赡养请求金额为 $300,则可认定对方具备支付能力。

    如何争取

    离婚抚养费通常需要采取以下三种方式的任意一种实现:

    • 双方在财产分割协议(Binding Financial Agreement)中约定;
    • 双方协商一致后向法庭申请财产同意令(Consent Orders);
    • 启动法院的财产分割诉讼程序中,向法庭提出诉求。

    赡养费的调整或废除

    离婚赡养费并非永久固定,可能因实际情况的变化而调整或取消。例如,申请方重新获得稳定收入或被申请方失去支付能力等情况,均可能成为赡养费调整的理由。任何一方若希望调整或取消赡养费,都需要向法院提出申请并提交相关证明文件。

    总结

    离婚赡养费是澳大利亚法律体系下保障经济弱势一方的重要手段。它旨在帮助申请方在关系破裂后维持基本生活水平,并确保双方经济状况之间的合理平衡。然而,与子女抚养费不同,离婚赡养费仅针对前配偶,不涉及未成年子女的生活费用。需要注意的是,申请离婚赡养费的过程通常较为复杂,建议寻求专业法律意见,以确保自身权益得到充分保障。
