Overview
- A state decree creates a public list of parents who fail to pay child support, making the registry official in Nuevo León.
- A certificate of no child-support debt will be required to marry, obtain or renew a driver’s license, or seek public office, with listed individuals also barred from adoption and judicial posts.
- The state DIF will compile the roster while the Nuevo León judiciary will administer the registry and enforce measures.
- Those who disguise income to avoid payments face criminal penalties ranging from two to five years in prison.
- Authorities or officials who shield listed debtors may be sanctioned, and the measure aligns with Mexico’s 2023 national registry and “3 de 3” reforms.
