According to the deputy, the current alimony system is outdated and requires replacement. "The judicial process does not help but only exacerbates the situation for women who are forced to navigate numerous instances. If a couple has a child and they separate, it is necessary to establish a fixed minimum amount of alimony that the state can cover. Debtors should be required to work to support their children," Bekeshev said.
He also noted: "As long as one parent leaves the family and has new children, the issue of alimony remains unresolved. The responsibility for supporting the child should lie with both parents. Alimony should be paid without the need to go to court. Divorce is a signal that a person must bear financial responsibility. In case of non-payment of alimony, the state can seize part of the debtor's property."
In response, Deputy Attorney General Umutkan Konkubaeva remarked: "Young people may start refusing marriage if such measures are implemented."She also provided statistics: since 2019, approximately 22% of divorces have been recorded annually, and in 2025, 341 fathers were deprived of parental rights due to non-payment of alimony. Currently, there are 60,000 alimony cases with bailiffs.
