The issue of alimony collection is a socially significant one and requires addressing through updated mechanisms, including maintaining a registry of alimony debtors. Achieving the goal of prioritizing the protection of children's property rights is impossible without ensuring the timely collection of alimony payments, which requires improving legislation in this area. The registry maintenance procedure necessitates differentiating between individuals who fail to fulfill their alimony obligations for valid reasons and those who systematically fail to pay support to needy family members. This constitutes grounds for their inclusion in the registry of debtors and the application of state enforcement measures against them. The author has formulated a proposal to provide parents who are unable to fulfill their child support obligations for a valid reason (disability, temporary unemployment, illness, etc.) with a state loan—that is, a repayable payment for child support (Chapter 36 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). This is aimed at expanding civil law mechanisms in the area of alimony relations. Such a legislative solution will more clearly define the limits of a debtor's liability for alimony payments, create conditions for the inclusion of accurate information about debtors in the register and their removal from the register, formulate a legal definition of the concept of "malicious evasion of alimony payments," identify its qualifying features, and distinguish between cases of single and multiple failure to fulfill alimony obligations. Improving the rules governing the procedure for collecting alimony will contribute to the increased enforceability of judicial decisions, which will impact the effectiveness of the application of relevant rules in practice.
