The liquidated damages clause in the divorce agreement may specify the amount and time of the liquidated damages to be paid if one party fails to perform as agreed. If one party breaches the contract, the other party may bring a lawsuit to the court. At the time of signing the divorce agreement, both parties have reached an agreement on matters such as the division of common property, common debts and the upbringing of children. In order to ensure that both parties fulfill the agreement, liquidated damages can be agreed in the divorce agreement, with the liquidated damages clause as the guarantee.
 The liquidated damages can be determined according to the standards agreed by both parties in the divorce agreement. The agreed liquidated damages are lower than the actual losses. The observant party can sue to the court for increasing the liquidated damages. If the agreed liquidated damages are too high than the actual losses, the defaulting party can sue to the court for reducing the liquidated damages.
 Legal basis:
