Father, avoiding alimony payment found hiding in a barn in Navoi

A father from Syrdarya Region who owed 63 million soums in unpaid child support was found hiding in a barn in another region, according to Millar.

Reportedly, the man had been evading child support payments for his two children for three years. He was discovered by enforcement officers in a barn located in the Khatirchi District of Navoi Region.

The man was sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest for deliberately avoiding payment of his debt.

It is worth noting that earlier, a father in Fergana was jailed after hiding behind a curtain to avoid paying child support. Last year, similar incidents occurred across the country: in Kashkadarya, a man was found under blankets; in Namangan and Surkhandarya, in basements; in Khorezm, at a poultry farm; in Fergana, at a nightclub; in Andijan, at his aunt’s house; and in Bukhara, at his grandmother’s home. Previously, a man in Surkhandarya who failed to provide for his minor child was detained at his brother’s wedding, while in Andijan another father was found behind roofing sheets at his unfinished house. In Samarkand Region, an evader was discovered hiding inside a wardrobe.
