Unpaid child support in Moldova: enforcement and risks

Start with the enforceable document

Check the court judgment or enforceable agreement, the amount due, payment history and the enforcement file. Separate the current obligation from calculated arrears and any other amounts claimed.

Possible enforcement consequences

Depending on the facts and law in force, enforcement measures and other legal consequences may apply. A proposal announced publicly is not the same as an enacted rule; the applicable version must be checked before relying on a sanction.

Practical steps

• Request an updated arrears calculation.
• Keep bank statements and payment evidence.
• Communicate changes in employment or residence through proper channels.
• Challenge an incorrect calculation within the applicable procedure.
• Prioritise the child’s interests and avoid using support as leverage in contact disputes.
