A court in the Ulytau Region has heard an administrative case against a man who failed to pay child support. His arrears reached 1,178,310 tenge, and the debtor blamed his unemployment for the non-payment, promising to settle the debt in the future, the website infohub.kz reports.
According to the official Telegram channel of the Ulytau Region courts, the case was heard under Part 1 of Article 669 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Kazakhstan — failure to comply with a court verdict, court decision or other judicial act and enforcement document.
Under a court order for child support in the amount of one quarter, the defendant was obliged to pay the money. The enforcement document was registered with a private bailiff, after which enforcement proceedings were launched. The child support arrears currently stand at 1,178,310 tenge.
As part of the enforcement proceedings, the defendant's financial situation was checked, but no property registered in his name was found. The private bailiff repeatedly notified the defendant of the need to comply with the court decision and took explanations and commitments from him, but the man never complied with the court ruling.
At the court hearing, the man explained that he could not pay child support because he was unemployed, but intended to pay off the debt in the future.
The court found him guilty of an administrative offence under Part 1 of Article 669 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Kazakhstan and sentenced him to 20 hours of community service.
