Kazakh Teen Wins Landmark Alimony Case Against Absent Father After Decade-Long Fight
A schoolgirl in Taraz has won a legal battle to secure financial support from her father, who abandoned his parental responsibilities over a decade ago. The case reached the Zhambyl Regional Court after years of avoidance and refusal to contribute to her upbringing. The father, who earns from multiple businesses, had previously signed away his rights but was still ordered to pay monthly alimony.
In 2008, the girl's father formally renounced his parental rights in a notarised statement. Despite this, he remained legally obligated to provide financial support. The Taraz City Court later ruled that he must pay 17 MRP (66,844 tenge) each month until his daughter finishes school. The decision was finalised and entered into legal force.
The father challenged the ruling, but the Zhambyl Regional Court rejected his appeal. He had cut off all contact with his daughter, even blocking her phone number when she sought help. Meanwhile, the 11th-grade student attends a private school in Taraz, where tuition costs 68,000 tenge per month. The girl's mother and brother died in 2018, leaving her in the care of her grandmother, who now fully supports her. The father, who has four other children from another marriage, has provided no financial assistance despite his business income. No further details on his legal arguments or the number of additional children were disclosed in court records.
The court's decision ensures the schoolgirl will receive monthly payments until she completes her education. The father's repeated attempts to avoid responsibility were dismissed, and the ruling remains binding. Her grandmother will no longer bear the full financial burden alone.
