Court Orders 180 Hours of Community Service for Unpaid Child Support
Man Denies Guilt in Court Over Unpaid Child Support, Citing Unemployment
In court, the defendant did not plead guilty but admitted that while he agreed with the amount of his debt, he could not pay child support because he was unemployed.
A resident of Biysk had failed to pay child support for several years, accumulating a debt of nearly 350,000 rubles. Case details were shared by Tatiana Daskina, an assistant prosecutor.
According to the child's mother, she was married to the man for several years, and they had a son who currently lives with her. After the couple separated, the father was ordered to pay child support amounting to half the regional subsistence minimum. However, he failed to make the required payments, citing a lack of steady employment. Despite administrative penalties, he still did not fulfill his obligations.
The mother stated that the man provided no financial support, had no contact with their son, showed no interest in his well-being, and never bought gifts, clothes, or food for him.
In court, the defendant again denied guilt, acknowledging the debt and his obligation to pay but claiming he was unable to work due to health issues. Throughout this period, he had been living with his mother on her pension.
Case materials indicate that he never provided the bailiff with any documents confirming his disability.
The court found the man guilty and sentenced him to 180 hours of compulsory community service.
