The wording of the draft law No. 0950 adopted as a basis obliged the court to pass ruling on levying child support at the same time with holding the procedure of deprival of parental rights. If mother, father or other legal representatives of a child refused to receive the court-ruled spousal and child support, the court would channel the funds to the state budget.

The draft law was considerably adapted in the course of preparation for second reading. In particular, the wording of the draft law, which is now offered for adoption, notes that if mother, father or other legal representatives of a child refused to receive the court-ruled spousal and child support, the court should rule to send the funds onto a personal account of the child in outlets of Oschadbank (Savings Bank) state-run bank and to oblige mother, father or other legal representatives to open the said personal account within a month time to enact respective court ruling.
