Unpaid alimony? Our solutions

Unpaid alimony, a plague.

In France, almost 40% of maintenance payments are made irregularly, out of ill will or because of financial difficulties of the former spouse. This alarming phenomenon mainly affects women, most of whom are heads of single-parent families.

On June 1st, the judicial officers, partners of the K d'Urgence foundation, intervened during the Special Single Parent Day.

A propitious occasion to recall our expertise.

As a specialist in cases of non-payment, our study is able to detect the profile and behaviour of a debtor and quickly assess his level of solvency and the chances of recovery.

We are fully aware of the need for the custodial parent to obtain support payments promptly.

That's why our first piece of advice is to act quickly.

By acting at the first unpaid amount (i.e. after 30 to 40 days), the pension is more easily and quickly recovered.

What do you have to do?

To recover alimony, you simply need to send us: the divorce decree, a sworn statement of the unpaid amount (in the form of a table, for example), a bank account number, a copy of your identity document, the employer's address, the debtor's bank details and his or her personal details (e-mail address, postal address - the former spouse is obliged to provide this information and to report any changes -, telephone number, etc.).

A range of solutions implemented by the judicial officer:

Simple and fast, the direct payment procedure is free of charge for the applicant. Our action consists of immediately launching the procedure against the former spouse.
Concrete translations :
- For example, to have the debtor's employer or bank institute a direct debit from the debtor spouse's wages or bank account. Result: Each month, the pension is debited directly at source. To this amount is added the reimbursement of any arrears (within the limit of 6 months of unpaid debts), divided into 12 monthly instalments. The costs are borne in full by the debtor.
- In the event of failure of the first proceedings initiated (defaulting parent who has organised his or her insolvency, exercising an activity without payment of wages, or recipient of the RSA), we can implement civil enforcement procedures under ordinary law in matters of recovery (seizure of movable or immovable property, bank accounts, judicial mortgage, etc.). Objective: to recover the amount of unpaid pensions without affecting future pensions. Please note: here again, the costs are always borne in full by the debtor.

Finally, in the absence of results, you can then refer the matter to the Public Prosecutor to initiate the collection procedure by the Public Treasury, or suggest a complaint (délit correctionnel) against your former spouse of the debtor before the criminal court for abandonment of the family.

Good to know: if your former spouse does not reassess support, we can again force him or her to do so. FYI: the support review can be easily calculated.
