Response from the competent authority: "Answer from the Ministry of Labour, Family,\
  \ Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:The obligation to provide maintenance between\
  \ parents and children is laid down in the Family Code (Official Gazette of the\
  \ Republic of Slovenia, No 15/17 and 21/18 - ZNOrg and 22/19, hereafter the DZ).\
  \ The enforceable title by which maintenance is determined is a court settlement\
  \ order, a final court decision or an enforceable notarial deed. If the debtor fails\
  \ to comply with the obligation set out in the enforcement order, it is possible\
  \ to enforce compliance by means of an enforcement procedure (the maintenance claim\
  \ has priority over other claims in enforcement proceedings and, in addition, lawful\
  \ maintenance payments are also exempt from enforcement). The Act on the Public\
  \ Scholarship, Development, Disability and Maintenance Fund of the Republic of Slovenia\
  \ (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No 78/06 - official consolidated\
  \ text, 106/12, 39/16 and 11/18 - ZIZ-L) also establishes the right to a maintenance\
  \ allowance, to which a child who has been ordered by an enforcement order to pay\
  \ maintenance that is not being paid by the obligor is entitled. In addition, Article\
  \ 194 of the Criminal Code establishes non-payment of maintenance as a criminal\
  \ offence punishable by imprisonment from one to three years.\r\nHowever, unemployment\
  \ benefit is a right deriving from unemployment insurance and is based on prior\
  \ payment of contributions, and its entitlement cannot therefore be conditional\
  \ on the fulfilment of obligations arising in other areas of social regulation.\
  \ In our view, the statutory scheme comprehensively regulates the determination\
  \ of maintenance, as well as the sanctions for non-payment and, in addition, the\
  \ protection of the child during this period through the payment of a maintenance\
  \ allowance."
