Summary/Abstract: Better a good divorce than a bad marriage - is a sentence that has been said countless times, and with which most of us, for sure, have met "face to face" at least once, regardless of whether the problems of a dysfunctional family were imposed on us by real life or profession and through professional professional activities. Whenever and however it happens, divorce entails numerous issues such as the regulation of personal relationships, the protection and education of children, but also legally regulated issues such as alimony. Although the issue of child support is regulated by law, unfortunately, the data shows that there is a large percentage of parents who completely or partially avoid paying their children basic means of living. Precisely because of the problem of alimony collection and non-compliance with court rulings, in many countries the state has undertaken the obligation to protect this vulnerable category of children and sanction the irresponsible behavior of non-paying parents, in such a way that they passed a law establishing the Alimony Fund. The task of this fund is to take upon itself the payment of alimony on behalf of a parent who does not fulfill his legal obligation and thereby enable a safer and more stable life for the children of divorced parents, and to collect money from unscrupulous parents through a special procedure. The paper will, through a comparative presentation of the existing legal solutions of other countries and an analysis of the activities undertaken so far, point out all that has been normatively done so far so that the Law on Temporary Child Support in the Republic of Srpska finally sees the light of day.
