ถ้าคู่สมรสหย่าโดยความยินยอม ให้ทำความตกลงกันไว้ในสัญญาหย่าว่า คู่สมรสทั้งสองฝ่าย หรือคู่สมรสฝ่ายใดฝ่ายหนึ่ง จะออกเงินค่าอุปการะเลี้ยงดูบุตรเป็นจำนวนเงินเท่าใด
ถ้าหย่าโดยคำพิพากษาของศาลหรือในกรณีที่สัญญาหย่ามิได้กำหนดเรื่องค่าอุปการะเลี้ยงดูบุตรไว้ ให้ศาลเป็นผู้กำหนด
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
If the spouses divorce by mutual consent, they shall agree in the divorce agreement on how much both of them, or one of them, is to contribute towards the maintenance of the children.
If the divorce is by judgment of the court, or if the divorce agreement makes no provision for the maintenance of the children, the court shall fix it.
