Maximum Unpaid Amount: 192 Million Won
184 Sanctions Imposed on 166 Individuals
A total of 166 individuals who intentionally failed to pay child support for an extended period will now face sanctions such as travel bans and driver's license suspensions. The average unpaid child support per person is approximately 45 million won, with the highest amount in arrears reaching 192 million won.
The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced on June 21 that it had held the 51st Child Support Enforcement Review Committee over two days, June 8 and 9, and approved a total of 184 sanctions against 166 child support debtors.
The Ministry imposes sanctions on child support debtors who fail to pay child support despite being ordered by the court to make lump-sum payments, comply with enforcement orders, or being subject to detention orders.
The types of sanctions include 120 travel bans, 41 driver's license suspensions, and 23 cases of name disclosure. Among those penalized this time, the largest individual child support debt amounts to about 192 million won, while the average debt is about 45 million won.
Since the introduction of the sanction system for child support non-compliance in 2021, the number of cases has continued to increase. From January to June this year, the number of sanctions approved was 720, an increase of 154 cases, or 27.2%, compared to 566 cases during the same period last year.
New name disclosure information can be found on the websites of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Child Support Agency.
