Nonpayment of child support after divorce Requesting introduction of a system to change the country January 23 23:17
To support single parents who have not received child support after divorce, the Liberal Democratic Party's Parliamentarians' League of Parliamentarians has called on the Minister of Justice Mori to introduce a state-owned reimbursement system.
Members of the parliamentary federation made up of female members, including LDP acting Deputy Secretary-General Inada, visited the Ministry of Justice on the night of the 27th and handed the request to the Minister of Justice Mori.
The request states that the parental care received by parents raising children after divorce is "indispensable for solving the problem of child poverty," and the state will provide support for single parents who have not been paid for childcare. We are calling for legislation to be introduced to introduce a system for reimbursing expenses.
In response, Minister Mori said, "We must prevent children's poverty. Nonpayment of childcare is an urgent issue, and we want to work hard with the ruling party's backing."
After this, Mr. Inada told reporters, "We should consider ways to forcibly collect all or part of the child-rearing support or to pay for it by the government. I want to think about it. "
