Is it true that support level for a child after divorce is 5 million/month in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Article 116 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 stipulates as follows:

1. The support level shall be agreed upon by the person with the support obligation and the supported person or the latter’s guardian on the basis of the actual income and ability of the person with the support obligation and the essential needs of the supported person; if they fail to reach agreement, they may request a court to settle it.

2. When there is a plausible reason, the support level may change. The change of the support level shall be agreed upon by the parties; if they fail to reach agreement, they may request a court to settle it.

Thus, it is not necessary to impose a mandatory number on the issue of support of 5 million/month as mentioned above, but it is completely dependent on the income, the actual ability of the person who is obliged to support and the essential needs of the supported person; if the agreement is not reached, it is required to request the court to settle it in Vietnam.

Best Regards!
