The article is devoted to the study of the features of the introduction of a fne for arrears in the payment of alimony. The relevance of this study is attached to the adoption Act “On amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine on the creation of economic prerequisites for strengthening the protection of the children’s right to proper maintenance” on July 3, 2018 № 2475-VIII. The purpose of which was to ensure adequate conditions for the protection of the rights of the child, if the parents could not agree on the method of child maintenance, and therefore such a method of child maintenance is decided by the court. The Act provided for a number of legal innovations, in particular, a mechanism for imposing fnes in the presence of arrears in the payment of alimony. The analysis of judicial practice on the investigated question is carried out that allowed to reveal problem questions of application of the new law. The issues of operation in time of the norms of the family legislation, in relation to the maintenance obligations were considered. Issues of family legal responsibility are always considered, frst of all, in the context of the protection of the rights and interests of the child. This approach is justifed. Responsibility in family law is defned as a protective legal institution, within which the protection of rights is carried out and the consequences provided for by the sanction are unfavorable for the offender. The conclusion about the legal nature of the penalty for arrears in the payment of alimony and the features of its application was provided. In family law, liability in the form of a fne for non-payment of alimony is not a punishment of the guilty, but rather an additional mechanism for the protection of the child.
