One of the key changes is the introduction of administrative arrest for evasion of alimony payments. If arrears accumulate for more than three consecutive months or cumulatively within a year, the offender may face up to three days of arrest.

For repeated violations, the arrest term may be increased to seven days. The same liability will apply to able-bodied adult children who fail to support incapacitated parents. However, debtors may be exempt from liability if they fully repay their arrears.

The draft law also strengthens criminal liability for persistent non-payment of alimony. The maximum prison sentence for certain offenses may be increased to up to three years. In addition, offenders will not be released from criminal liability until full repayment of the debt.

The legislation also introduces private court bailiffs, who will be authorized to enforce court decisions in most categories of cases, with certain exceptions such as state-related claims, property confiscation, eviction, land seizure, fines, and others.

Another innovation is the creation of a Register of Obligations, which will include information on unpaid enforcement documents. The data will be stored for ten years and will be accessible to government authorities for online verification.

The bill has already been adopted by the Zhogorku Kenesh and published for public discussion.
