Annotation: This article is devoted to the analysis of abuse of law in the context of alimony relations. Despite the fact that the legal norms governing alimony obligations are aimed at protecting the interests of the most vulnerable seg- ments of society – minor children and disabled people in need of assistance, there are cases when participants in alimony legal relations use these norms for personal, selfish interests. Such abuse is a serious problem that negatively affects the interests of all parties involved in the alimony relationship, and above all, the well-being of the child. In order to identify the causes of abuse of the right in the field of alimony obligations, an analysis of the most common types of offenses arising in this area was carried out, which are confirmed by cases from judicial practice. A number of recommendations were formulated to improve the mechanisms for countering abuse of rights in the field of alimony relations. In particular, it is proposed to strengthen control over the targeted use of alimony payments by introducing mandatory reporting of the parent receiving child support on the expenditure of the funds received. It is also necessary to expand activities aimed at educating citizens of social responsibility and respect for the law. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
