Why Maintenance Debt Survives Discharge
Article 213.28(5) of Federal Law No. 127-FZ expressly preserves maintenance claims after the case to the extent unpaid. This also covers claims not filed in the procedure, although a recipient who stayed outside the case may have missed estate distributions.
For an unpaid component included in the registry, the court issues an enforcement writ under the statutory procedure.
Restart from the Verified Balance, Not the Old Gross Figure
The recipient should credit every bankruptcy distribution and proper payment, then continue accruals under the existing title. The payer should identify the month and purpose of each transfer. A child reaching adulthood may end future accruals under the general rule, but accrued arrears do not disappear. Any change in amount requires a lawful family-law basis and does not occur automatically because of bankruptcy.
