Indeed, failure to pay alimony was an indictable offence under the Penal Code, while under civil law, the assets of a father who failed to pay child support could be confiscated to enforce such payment.

The exemption from the payment of contributions is limited to the receipt of child raising allowances, however.

Shortly after independence the issue of maintenance became a major concern as many women started to complain of the difficulty securing maintenance from the fathers of their children, and about the inefficient operation of the maintenance courts, which fall under the legislation inherited from South Africa.

If the mother is indigent at the time of the mukhala ah or becomes so thereafter, the father shall be obliged to maintain the child and the mother shall be indebted to him.

A study conducted by the LAC showed that women in both rural and urban areas use the maintenance courts and are concerned about more effective mechanisms for securing maintenance, and that many women find traditional approaches to maintenance under customary law inadequate.

Presently, maintenance grants are given under the Children Act 33 of 1960.

They are included in the system of old age and disability pensions.

4. Child raising allowance

Dependent spouse allowance

No money to feed them.

Parents are obliged to support their minor children, and if they refuse to do so, the money for supporting the children (maintenance) is collected from the parents by the court (art. 80 of the Family Code).

Moreover, health and nutrition transitions are putting new cost pressures on countries in terms of growing populations, ageing and higher dependency ratios.

Foster families receive remuneration from the national budget in the amount of 38 LVL per month for the performance of foster family duties while local governments cover expenses of supporting the child from their own local budgets.

5. Child raising leave

For example, a court may consider it a good reason if a parent has another child who would be less financially secure than the child receiving support if such amount were ordered.

(v) Child care payments.

A court has granted the minimum amount possible only in cases where the financial situation of the parent from whom maintenance is asked does not allow for more or when the parent asking for maintenance has not sufficiently substantiated the amount asked for.

Support for a child will be specified as a monthly support payment based on the financial situation of each parent and the needs of the child.
