Execution and Bankruptcy Crime – Failure to Pay Alimony
For the crime of failure to pay alimony to occur, there must first be a final court judgment regarding alimony. The person in whose favor the judgment was rendered must request the enforcement of this judgment from the Enforcement Directorate, and the Enforcement Directorate must have sent an enforcement order to the debtor. Of course, for the crime to occur, 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 for the crime of failure to pay alimony is subject to complaint, the creditor must file a complaint within three months of the non-payment.
The competent court for the crime of failure to pay alimony, as with other execution crimes we have examined, is the Enforcement Criminal Court. The competent court for execution crimes is the court of the place where the execution directorate that conducted the execution is affiliated.
