Brazil child support enforcement legislation

Overview

Legislative efforts in Brazil are expanding to include more diverse coercive measures for enforcing unpaid child support payments.

Initial proposals, such as Bill 2581/26 authored by Deputy Sâmia Bomfim, focused on restricting debtors from entering stadiums, arenas, and other sporting events. This measure would require event administrators to use biometric or electronic identification to enforce judicial orders until debts are settled. Proponents argued that traditional methods like civil imprisonment have been insufficient to prevent the social vulnerability of children.

Subsequent legislative discussions have introduced broader enforcement mechanisms under Bill 2811/26. These include withholding sports betting winnings via a National Registry of Alimony Debtors, redirecting income tax refunds to settle arrears, and the continuous blocking of bank accounts. Other proposed restrictions include the suspension of driver’s licenses, seizure of passports, and prohibitions on participating in public exams or bidding processes.
