Does child support in cases of domestic violence satisfy the childrenс needs?

Based on interviews conducted with 30 women who have experienced domestic violence and are either involved in or have been involved in legal proceedings to determine child support for their children,  by the end of January 2024 we began processing the data and preparing the third consecutive analysis "Does court-ordered child support satisfies the children’s needs."The initial findings of the analysis indicate that the amount of court-ordered child support by the basic civil courts is not in line with the needs of the children, and an additional challenge is the non-payment of court-ordered child support by perpetrators of domestic violence. We use these findings to advocate for improvements in judicial practice and the establishment of special mechanisms for the effective collection of child support from parents who refuse to fulfill their parental obligations regarding the support of children.
This activity is part of the assessments we are preparing, with direct consultation with women who have experienced domestic violence, aiming to determine the level of utilization of legally guaranteed rights and other specific needs in accessing justice.
