Argentine judicial enforcement of child support debt

Overview

A court in El Bolsón, Río Negro, has ordered the suspension of digital streaming services for a father owing nearly $4 million in child support. The ruling affects platforms such as Netflix, Spotify, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, and Max.

Judge Paola Bernardini cited Article 553 of the Civil and Commercial Code, noting that these measures aim to “dissuade non-compliance and ensure the fulfillment of food obligations rather than to serve as a punishment.” In addition to digital restrictions, the court has suspended the individual’s driver’s license and prohibited its renewal until the debt is settled. Authorities are also investigating potential assets in the provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén for possible seizure, following an existing lien placed on the individual’s vehicle.
