The Prosecutor's Office of the Kostanay region conducted an analysis of the measures taken to ensure timely payment of alimony by parents, adhering to the principle of "Law and Order".
The number of convicted willful debtors in the region has doubled over the past three years. In 2024, with the coordination of the prosecutor's office, 61 parents were convicted for non-payment of alimony in the amount of 96.3 million tenge, including 6 people who were sentenced to imprisonment.
For example, one citizen did not pay alimony to his son for 4 years, and the debt amounted to 4.4 million tenge. The prosecutor of the Fedorov district initiated a pre-trial investigation, and by court verdict the debtor was sentenced to one year of restriction of liberty.
In addition to criminal liability, administrative punishment measures are applied. A total of 327 people were brought to administrative responsibility, of which 122 were fined and 205 were arrested.
Debtors are also temporarily restricted in their right to travel abroad, obtain and use licenses, permits and special rights, and dispose of their property.
Those who want to get a job and pay alimony correctly will be provided with assistance through employment agencies. More than 360 debtors have been employed, which has made it possible to provide children with monthly alimony payments.
According to supervisory acts, the Kostanay region prosecutor's office has protected the rights of 275 minors and managed to repay debts in the amount of 286.4 million tenge. 85 bailiffs were disciplined, one of whom lost his state license for systematic inaction.
Timely payment of alimony is the duty of parents and an important step in ensuring the well-being of the child.
