The registration to the Registry of Delinquent Food Debtors in the City of Buenos Aires was tariffed so far, today the Buenos Aires Legislature approved a law that establishes free registration of people who do not comply with the judicial agreement that sets the payment of the alimony fee for children. The regulation was unanimously approved by the Buenos Aires Parliament to change the current scheme, which establishes a cost ranging between $ 1,160 and $ 8,110 and that, generally, is in charge of the woman who initiates the procedure, which at some point is paradoxical, since the woman is demanding from the father of her children an economic aid to be able to maintain them. In the City of Buenos Aires there are approximately 8,000 debtors listed in the Registry of Delinquent Food Debtors, although it is estimated that there are many more but due to the economic barrier contemplated by registration in the registry they are not registered. The initiative promoted by legislator Lucía Cámpora of the Frente de Todos, expressed on social networks after the approval of the law that “the breach of the food quota is another form of economic violence against women, who are the main affected along with children.”
I tell you something that we managed to approve in the @legiscaba From now on, registration in the Register of Food Debtors will be FREE. That is, the woman who claims maintenance from the father of her children in common, will no longer have to pay for him to appear in the Registry. pic.twitter.com/Nn4v0wjAsD — Lu Cámpora (@lucampora)

And he added that “it was extremely unfair that the woman who was already fighting to claim alimony, had to pay to register the debtor in a Registry.” According to a study conducted by the Ministry of Women, Gender Policies and Sexual Diversity of the province of Buenos Aires -cited by the legislator-, 66.5% of women do not receive the food quota or do so on an occasional basis. For Cámpora, “the Registry of Food Debtors is a tool that, combined with others, has to allow us greater creativity to make the payment of the food quota effective.”
“Today, for a person to be listed as a debtor disqualifies him from renewing his driver’s license. But also by article 553 of the Civil and Commercial Code you can be prevented, with a court order, from entering a club or leaving the country,” he said.
In the framework of the Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which is commemorated on November 25 of each year, the Buenos Aires Legislature advanced today in the expansion of rights to eradicate the economic violence exercised by parents who fail to pay the alimony fee that corresponds to their sons and daughters.
