You will have to pay in any way: the Supreme Court allowed to collect debts for alimony even after the majority of children
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation clarified Is it possible to collect child support from the debtor parent if the child is already 18 years old?.
Thousands of Russians appealed to the highest court with this question, because on-site bailiffs often stop enforcement proceedings for alimony immediately after the child turns 18 years old.
Not only it is possible to collect, but also it is necessary, they assured the Judicial Board on Administrative Cases.
Debt on alimony, whatever it was financially, remains debt, and from the payment of the majority of the child of a negligent parent can not release.
Such explanations followed a scandalous situation in Khabarovsk.
There is a woman almost 20 years one kept their children. Former husband refused to pay child support. After many years, the woman went to court to still recover at least something from her former lover, but local judges refused to decide in her favor.
The woman went to the regional court, where she was advised to stop complaining, because the children had grown up, and if they needed money, let they themselves sue the fatherAfter all, previously unpaid money was ultimately intended for them, and not for their mother.
Attempts by courts and bailiffs in the regions of Russia to replace the payment of alimony with obligatory work were also criticized by the Supreme Court of Russia.
Regardless of, how many years have passeda woman has the right to sue and collect alimony, which she did not receive when raising children on her own. The majority of the child does not cease the duties of the debtor and the change of the recoverer (a proposal to apply to the court by the children themselves) is a misinterpretation of the existing legislation.
All parents of adult children who are faced with denials in the courts and in the bailiff service are recommended based on the decision of the Supreme Court. file claims again.
They should definitely indicate that they are asking to collect child support from previous years in order to compensate for their own expenses for a child who had to be raised independently, without the help of another parent.
