If you are paying an alimoy, do not forget the school payment

Those people who pay alimony must also pay the school payment before January 31st.

This means that those who pay their children’s alimony, must deposit the money corresponding to the purchase of supplies and uniforms for 2017 school year.

It doesn’t matter whether or not the worker receives a school wage, as established in the Childhood and Adolescence Code and the Food Pension Act, since children need the school payment to fill their needs and be able to study.

Public servants receive their school payment due to a reduction from their regular salary.

The government paid 165 billion colones to the public sector to cover this need.
