To the question of responsibility for failure to pay funds for the maintenance of children or disabled parents

Crimes against families and minors pose a significant threat to the development of Russian society. The negative experience of family relations leads to situations where a large number of minor children are left without the necessary material support. As a result, this leads to the development of a worldview about the permissibility of illegal behavior. After which they become vulnerable to involvement in criminal activities. A similar obligation of children to support their disabled parents in material terms is due to the urgent need for their appropriate participation in the life of persons who are not able to provide the necessary conditions on their own. In this context, the institution of responsibility for non-payment of funds for the maintenance of children and disabled parents acquires great importance. The aforementioned unlawful behavior is regulated by administrative and criminal legislation, in connection with which it seems necessary to focus on the problems of non-fulfillment of these obligations when committing a criminal offense. The purpose of writing a research paper is to analyze the current criminal law governing liability for non-payment of funds for the maintenance of children and disabled parents. The author comes to the conclusion that at present there are a number of problems associated with bringing to justice for the above-mentioned crime. Attention is focused on the negative impact of gaps in marriage and family legislation, which give rise to legitimate forms of evasion of the obligation to support individuals who objectively need it.
