Family abandonment and failure to pay maintenance lawyer in Bucharest
Are maintenance payments unpaid, or have you received a summons concerning family abandonment? We review the obligation, the relevant periods, payments and documents to identify the appropriate civil and criminal proceedings.
Non-payment of maintenance and criminal liability
Article 378(1)(c) of the Criminal Code concerns failure, in bad faith, to pay court-ordered or notarially established maintenance for three months. Not every delay automatically establishes this offence. We review the instrument establishing the obligation, due dates, payments and the specific circumstances.
The complaint and the recovery of the sums have different roles.
We analyze separately the criminal complaint, forced execution and any requests for maintenance. A complaint does not guarantee the immediate collection of the arrears. The term of the preliminary complaint requires a separate verification; do not confuse it with the period of non-payment mentioned by the penal code.
What documents are useful
- The decision or the notarial deed that establishes the obligation.
- A statement of instalments due and payments actually made.
- Extracts, postal orders and enforcement documents available.
- Correspondence and documents relevant to the situation invoked.
- The citations or documents received from the police, the prosecutor’s office or the court.
If you are the person being investigated
Prepare the evidence of payments and documents regarding the circumstances of the non-execution. We analyze the significance of the payments made later in relation to the stage of the procedure and the conditions of the law. We do not promise that any partial payment automatically leads to the closure of the case.
Frequently asked questions
Does a simple verbal understanding replace the existing title?
We do not assume that the established obligation has been modified. We verify the documents and the necessary steps for the specific situation.
Can other forms of family abandonment be analyzed?
Yes. Failure to pay maintenance is only one of the situations covered by the law; the facts and the legal obligation must be clarified.
Can I request the analysis of the arrears and the criminal case at the same time?
Yes. We coordinate the appropriate legal steps regarding the documents and the procedural position.
