Question 17897 — family

Summary

Ms. Élodie Jacquier-Laforge questions the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, about unpaid alimony. On March 5, 2019, the Think Tank Terra Nova published new alarming figures on this subject. In France, today, 900,000 people (mostly women and often in precarious situations) must receive alimony to provide for the needs of 1.5 million children. However, 35% of them do not do not perceive them. To remedy this, it is recommended that an “Agency be responsible for collecting alimony and paying it to the creditor parent ( ). If the debtor stops paying or pays irregularly or partially, the Agency continues to pay, up to a minimum, the support due to the creditor parent while itself recovering from the debtor. Another possible step forward: increasing “the level of the minimum pension (when the pension set by the judge or by agreement of the parents is lower than this threshold, it is social security which provides the supplement) and to make mediation and participation in co-parenting sessions compulsory. Faced with the growing precariousness of single mothers on the national territory, she asked him what action the Government could give to these recommendations.
