Overview

• In Tartagal, Judge Carmen Juliá barred a father from leaving the province or the country and ordered his driver’s license withdrawn until he pays arrears and regularizes monthly child support.
• Court records show the Tartagal obligation has been in place since 2019, with the last recorded payment in February 2020 despite the debtor’s inclusion in the child-support arrears registry.
• Juliá’s ruling labels the prolonged nonpayment as economic violence and states parents cannot excuse failure to pay by citing job loss or reduced income.
• In San Lorenzo, Judge Marcelo Escola ordered a paternal uncle to provide provisional child support after finding the father repeatedly defaulted, applying the family-solidarity principle to a relative in a better financial position.
• The San Lorenzo order sets payment at 125% of the canasta de crianza for ages 6–12 plus 30% of the aguinaldo, family allowance, health coverage, and extraordinary expenses, reflecting urgent needs reported by the mother.
