Solucion De Conflictos En Materia De Alimentos Para Los Hijos En Colombia.
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Alvarez Potosi, Maryuri; Escobar Ospina,Carlos Andrés (Tutor)
The right to receive support from parents in Colombia is fundamental for minors, guaranteeing their comprehensive development (housing, healthcare, food, and education) and is supported by the Civil Code and the Constitution. This legal obligation, whose failure to comply has serious consequences, requires resorting to alternative dispute resolution mechanisms (ADRs) if parents cannot reach an agreement. Law 2220 of 2022 regulates conciliation, the most widely used ADR to resolve these disputes expeditiously in Family Police Stations or authorized centers, thus decongesting the courts. Mediation is another option. If ADRs do not work, the courts resort to family law, where measures will be taken under Law 1098 of 2006. Finally, the Constitutional Court establishes the best interests of the child as the guiding principle in all support cases, prioritizing their well-being and complementing this right with the advancement of regulations and the use of ADRs.
