The standard for requesting a departure ban for child support debtors who do not pay child support following divorce will be lowered from 50 million won to 30 million won from the 16th.
If you do not pay child support more than 3 times following receiving a detention order for non-fulfillment of child support, you can request a ban on departure.
At today’s cabinet meeting, the government decided to amend some of the enforcement ordinances that stipulate stricter sanctions once morest those who default on child support payments.
The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family predicted that as the amendment bill was approved, the system might be used even if the child support bond was a small amount, so the number of people who requested a departure ban would increase.
The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family expects that the temporary emergency support for child support will also be expanded from 50% or less of the current median income to 75% or less, thereby easing the economic burden of families struggling with raising children.
Temporary emergency support for child support is a system that provides support for child support for up to 12 months at 200,000 won per child if the child’s welfare is in jeopardy or there is a risk that the child’s well-being is at risk due to failure to receive child support.
In June, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family requested the Ministry of Justice and the police to ban departure of 17 people and suspend driving licenses for 30 of the 49 people who did not continue to pay child support in June.
