Debtors of Alimony Stripped of Possessions and Restricted Liberties
In the Almalinsky District of Almaty, Kazakhstan, a growing concern has arisen regarding the evasion of enforcement of court decisions related to alimony payments. Despite owning cars and real estate, many debtors are deliberately avoiding their obligations.
Common strategies for debt evasion in alimony cases include concealing income or assets, providing false information, changing jobs frequently or working informally, delaying tactics, relocation, and evading enforcement agencies. However, Kazakhstani law has increasingly tightened measures against alimony defaulters.
Administrative penalties, such as fines, can be imposed on those intentionally evading alimony payments. Authorities can also seize wages, bank accounts, and other assets to cover unpaid alimony. Persistent defaulters may face restrictions on certain rights, including bans on driving vehicles, using luxury goods, or traveling abroad.
If non-payment is deemed deliberate and persistent, it can lead to criminal charges, potentially resulting in fines, community service, or even imprisonment under Kazakhstan’s criminal code provisions related to the failure to fulfill family support obligations. Defaulters might also be listed on a public registry, creating social and professional consequences.
Recent efforts in the Almalinsky District have resulted in the payment off of debts in five cases, with over 74 million tenge recovered in total. Criminal charges were brought against some of the most persistent defaulters, with sentences including fines, restriction of liberty with probation, and even imprisonment.
One notable case involves a negligent father who was sentenced for intentionally not complying with a court decision and concealing his income. The alimony debts of this father amounted to 11 million tenge. The prosecutor's office and the Department of Police impounded 22 debtors' vehicles in the region.
The outstanding alimony debt in the Almalinsky District exceeds 1.5 billion tenge, making it a significant issue of public interest. An inspection in the area found that many debtors own cars and real estate, highlighting the need for continued vigilance and enforcement.
For those dealing with such cases, consulting a local family law expert is strongly advised for personalized advice and action. It is clear that Kazakhstani law enforcement in Almaty has multiple tools to combat persistent alimony payment avoidance, applying both administrative and criminal sanctions to ensure compliance.
