Any divorce process involves many issues that cannot always be resolved amicably. After a divorce, most often by a court decision or according to family relations, the child remains to live with his mother. According to the Family Code, Article 80, the parent who does not live with the child is obliged not only to take part in his upbringing equally with the second parent, but also to provide for him financially. Unfortunately, in practice this rule is not always observed, resulting in the formation of debt. There can be many reasons for this: evasion of alimony payments, being in another country, temporary financial difficulties. Therefore, in this regard, the question often arises: how to find out alimony arrears?
How to check alimony arrears
Today communications are developing so much that any issue can be resolved remotely. This will not cancel the right to find out the alimony arrears. Of course, you can personally visit the bailiff, and he will tell you the amount of the total alimony debt, but not everyone has this opportunity, especially if they are in another city or work from morning to evening. That's why the Internet comes to the rescue. He can offer us several ways to find out the alimony debt. So here are some options:
- view information through the bailiff service website;
- if you are registered on social networks, then install the necessary application;
- through a single portal “Public Services”;
- install a mobile application on your smartphone called “FSPP”.
In order to find out the amount of alimony payments that has already accumulated over the past months and is a debt, you will need to register with some of the above sources. Don't worry, it will only take you a few minutes. If you need to regularly find out your debts or your ex-spouse, for example, for the recipient - the mother of a child, then you can try all the above methods and decide what is most convenient for you.
What to do if a person did not know about his alimony arrears
It often happens that a person did not know about the formation of an alimony debt. This is due to ignorance of their responsibilities. You can’t just go and say: “You don’t have the right, because I didn’t know.” Any debt can be challenged, as well as a bailiff’s decision on recalculation, but there must be good reasons for this. These may be valid reasons, for example:
- the child support worker is in an emergency situation (natural disaster, plane crash, etc.);
- he was in hot spots;
- he was treated in a hospital, etc.
That is, it is necessary to prove that the payer does not refuse to pay, would like to do so, but due to insurmountable circumstances could not know about the accumulation of debt. On these grounds, you can file a complaint against the bailiff to a higher official, write a statement to the court or appeal to the prosecutor's office.
Resolutions of the bailiff and other officials of the bailiff service, their actions (inaction) to execute the writ of execution may be appealed by the parties to the enforcement proceedings, other persons whose rights and interests are violated by such actions (inaction), in the order of subordination and challenged in court .
Article 121 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”

You can write a complaint about any unlawful actions of the bailiff
A complaint to the court, prosecutor's office or senior bailiff may have the same text (the difference is in the header and title of the application)
You can simultaneously submit complaints to all authorities (court, prosecutor's office, senior bailiff)
Possible results of the appeal
Some people think that by filing a complaint, they are dooming themselves to lengthy proceedings and additional costs. In fact, sometimes just writing it is enough. The very next day they may call from the FSSP with good news.
For example, the court ordered alimony as a percentage of income (5,000 rubles). But the payer quit due to illness. After lying in the hospital for three months, he found out that the bailiffs had calculated his debt to be about 35,000 rubles. It turned out that during the period of absence of official earnings, the bailiff calculated the monthly amount of alimony based on the average salary in the region (12,000 rubles). After discharge, the debtor filed a complaint with a higher-ranking bailiff and presented a sick leave certificate, a doctor’s report and other documents confirming the presence of a good reason. The bailiffs recalculated the debt, its size decreased to 15,000 rubles.
In some cases, it is enough to contact the bailiff and explain the circumstances
However, there are also double situations when the debtor thinks that he is right, but the bailiffs have their own weighty arguments.
For example, a woman paid alimony for the maintenance of her children by court decision (25% of income, approximately 10,000 rubles). However, she had to transfer to another job, and before that, take a 40-day vacation at her own expense. Three months later, she learned about the formation of a large debt. It turned out that payments had stopped coming and the writ of execution had been lost. The debtor drew up and filed a complaint addressed to the senior bailiff about the loss of the writ of execution. The complaint was not satisfied, explaining that the woman had to notify the bailiff about the change of job, change in income level and bring a document from the accounting department with a certificate of all deductions made.

Find out the debt from the bailiffs
For those who do not trust the Internet or were unable to understand the above instructions, there remains a proven method - contact a bailiff, who will answer your questions in detail, provide information on the amount of monthly alimony, as well as the total amount of debt. You can contact a bailiff either in person by making an appointment or by calling. True, if you call, it is not always possible to identify you, so it is not always possible to find out more accurate information on the debt. You must understand that, despite the ease of obtaining information on alimony arrears by last name through the services of various sites and applications, this does not relieve you of the obligation to pay alimony, as well as the accrued fine as a result of the debt. Remember that even if you are in another city or abroad, there are many ways to transfer alimony non-cash. This is better than the fact of delay.
What information is stored in the debtors database?
The information stored in the register contains data on existing outstanding debts of a wide variety of nature, including:
- data on unpaid loans by legal entities and individuals (in case of obtaining a loan from banking institutions);
- information about unpaid fines imposed for offenses committed by legal entities or individuals;
- debtors for utility and other payments (if payments cover only part of the debt or are not made on time);
- list of debtors who do not pay alimony (if alimony was not received on time).
