It should be noted that in this case we are talking only about a family legal agreement on the payment of alimony, without taking into account a civil contract on the provision of maintenance. The latter has its own distinctive features. For example, S.S. Chekulaev believes that these are similar concepts, but their legal nature, the set of subjects, the grounds for the rights and obligations of the parties, as well as the nature of the legal consequences are different.

A notary is the most accessible lawyer for citizens and the only private person acting on behalf of the state. It not only helps to draw up documents and give them legal significance, but also according to Article 16 "Fundamentals of the legislation of the Russian Federation on notaries" dated 11.02.1993 N 4462-1, a notary is obliged to explain to individuals and legal entities the rights and obligations, warn about the consequences of notarial actions performed, so that legal ignorance could not be used to their detriment. The Institute of the notary, performing a public legal function on behalf of the state, creates all conditions so that citizens always have the opportunity to apply for a notarial action to solve almost any issues.

According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic, when considered as an independent reason for the dissolution of marriages, does not find its confirmation. However, the self-isolation of spouses can exacerbate the negative trends that occur in each family. Despite such an indirect role of the severe epidemiological situation, an increase in the number of divorces is inevitable, therefore it is necessary to take measures to optimize this process. A significant contribution was made by innovative changes in the field of notary, which made it possible to settle unresolved issues between former spouses in a remote format.
