Article 140. Determination of amount of alimony arrears

Amount of alimony arrears shall be determined by state executor based on amount of alimony, determined by court decision or notarized agreement on payment of alimony.

The amount of alimony arrears payable for minor children in accordance with Article 99 of present Code shall be determined on the basis of earnings and (or) other income of the person obliged to pay alimony for the period during which the collection of alimony was not made. In cases where the person obliged to pay alimony did not work during this period or if the documents confirming his/her earnings and (or) other income are not presented, the alimony arrear shall be determined on the basis of the average wage in the Republic of Uzbekistan at the time of collection of the arrear. If such determination of the arrear significantly violates the interests of one of the parties, the party whose interests are violated shall be entitled to appeal to the court. The court may determine the arrear in a firm amount of money based on the financial and family situation of the parties and other noteworthy circumstances.
