In Azerbaijan, 2,344 people have been imprisoned for not paying alimony.
Medianews.az reports that according to experts, paying alimony is not only a legal obligation of the parent but also vital for the child's normal development and social security. It is noted that children's nutrition, clothing, education, medical services, and other daily needs are met precisely through this fund.
Experts emphasize that not paying alimony on time and in full can negatively affect the child's psychological state, education, and overall welfare. Providing for the child's basic needs from an early age is considered a moral and legal duty of the parent. Failure to fulfill this responsibility can lead to administrative and criminal liability under legislation.
According to lawyers, regardless of personal relations and domestic disputes, parents must always prioritize the interests of the child. Alimony payment is not only a financial issue but is also regarded as an indicator of the parent's responsibility and care towards the child. Therefore, increasing awareness within society and strengthening parental responsibility is considered important.
