Interpretability can lead to prison - what affected parents need to know!

In Austria it could soon be serious for parents who do not pay child support. As the Graz experts from the FSKN Rechtsanwälte GmbH law firm report, criminal consequences are threatened in the worst case. The legal hurdles are high: just stop paying the maintenance is not an option. Parents who do not agree with the amount of the specified amount should therefore better turn to the court or youth welfare office to bring about clarification instead of giving themselves a possible criminal complaint and even prison.

The risk of maintenance obligation

What are the consequences if you don't meet the obligation to pay child support? First of all, the law is sensitive to such failures. The FSKN law firm explains that it is important for affected parents to act early in order to avoid legal disputes. The legal obligation to pay is clear and unequivocal, and ignoring such obligations can lead to serious legal problems.

In addition, begging, i.e. asking for alms, plays a not too negligible role in this debate. People are often faced with the choice of asking for help instead of fulfilling their obligations. According to the Duden, the word "begging" is defined as "repeated asking" and requires a differentiated view in social discourses. It shows how closely interwoven the topics of social security and legal requirements are - and that behind in any case there is often a complex life situation. One should be aware that the demands on alms and responsibility for your own family do not match, which underlines the need to take the legal obligations seriously.
