Execution and Bankruptcy Offense – Non-Payment of Alimony Debt
In order for the crime of not paying the alimony debt to occur; First of all, there must be a finalized court decision on alimony. The person in whose favor the decision was made must also apply to the Enforcement Directorate for the execution of this decision and the enforcement directorate must have sent an enforcement order to the debtor. Of course, in order for the crime to occur, the debtor, i.e. the person who is obliged to pay alimony, must have not paid the debt and at least one month of alimony debt must have accumulated.
Since prosecution for non-payment of alimony debt is subject to a complaint, the creditor must file a complaint within three months from the date of non-payment of the debt.
The competent court for the crime of non-payment of alimony debt is the Enforcement Criminal Court, as in the other enforcement offenses we have examined. The competent court in enforcement offenses is the court of the place where the enforcement directorate where the proceedings are carried out is affiliated.
