Enforcement and Bankruptcy Offense – Failure to Pay Alimony

For the offense of failure to pay alimony to be established, there must first be a final court ruling regarding alimony. The person in whose favor the decision was made must request enforcement of the decision from the Enforcement Directorate, and the Enforcement Directorate must have sent an enforcement order to the debtor. Of course, for the crime to be established, the debtor, i.e., the person obligated to pay alimony, must have failed to pay the debt, and at least one month’s worth of alimony debt must have accumulated.

Since the prosecution of the crime of non-payment of alimony is complaint-based, the creditor must file a complaint within three months of the non-payment of the debt.

As with the other enforcement crimes we have examined, the court with jurisdiction over the crime of non-payment of alimony is the Enforcement Criminal Court. The court with jurisdiction over enforcement crimes is the local court to which the enforcement office conducting the proceedings is affiliated.
