97 Child Support Debt Defaulters Subject to Sanctions Including Name Disclosure and Travel Ban
[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has decided on sanctions against 97 individuals who have willfully failed to pay child support. These individuals will face sanctions such as public disclosure of their names, travel bans, and driver's license suspensions.
On the 14th, the Ministry announced that at the 28th Child Support Enforcement Deliberation Committee, 97 individuals subject to sanctions for non-payment of child support were selected. The sanctions include △public disclosure of 9 individuals △travel bans on 38 individuals △driver's license suspensions for 50 individuals.
Since the introduction of sanctions against child support defaulters in July 2021, the number of requests for sanctions has continued to increase. As a result of the Ministry's enforcement of these sanctions, cases of full or partial payment of child support arrears have been on the rise.
Cases of full payment of child support include △1 individual from the public disclosure list △4 individuals under travel bans △9 individuals with driver's license suspensions. Among these, last month, there was a case where a debt of 125.6 million KRW was fully paid, leading to the lifting of the travel ban and removal from the public disclosure list.
Additionally, there were creditors who took sanctions after securing promises of partial payment and ongoing compliance from the debtors.
