Abstract:
The new maintenance enforcement process aims to deter non-payment of maintenance, make enforcement easier when there is non-payment of maintenance, and facilitate sustainable settlement outcomes. Under this new process, maintenance enforcement officers in the Ministry of Law can conduct conciliation sessions to facilitate amicable and sustainable settlement between parties, obtain information from the parties involved and, if necessary, banks and other third parties such as public agencies, submit a report to the court so that the court can make more targeted and effective enforcement orders, and refer suitable parties to financial assistance.
