Recovery of maintenance

The payment of child support is an obligation

Here's what you need to know on the subjectWhat to do if alimony is not paid. The debtor is the person who must pay maintenance. The creditor is the person who should receive alimony.

Often, in the case of divorce, the creditor is the one of the parents, even if the maintenance is addressed in reality to the children.

The payment of alimony by the debtor to the creditor is mandatory. Yet it is, alas, a thing frequent. If the debtor refuses to pay the alimony, the creditor may either initiate a recovery procedure, commit a criminal procedure with the aim to condemn the debtor (by filing a complaint to the Commissioner or to the police for"neglect"). Criminal sanctions may consist of a fine of fifteen, euros and a prison sentence of two years. To be able to make a complaint, it is necessary that the debtor has not paid child support for over two months.

The bailiff committed a direct payment procedure or entry. The costs of the proceedings and the fees of the bailiff are borne by the debtor. both The FCA: enter the CAF is only possible if the pension is payable by a parent to its children. The FCA, input, initiates a recovery procedure and offers assistance (ASF) to replace the maintenance time of the recovery.
