The vast majority of alimony debtors are men. According to the data, 91% of all proceedings concern men, while women account for only 9% of arrears.
Since 2021, the Dnipro region has ranked first in terms of the number of proceedings over alimony debts. This region has consistently led in this indicator, which indicates serious problems with the fulfillment of alimony obligations in this region.
