**Parents Face Registration with National Child Support Registry After Non-Payment**
In a significant legal update from the state of Baja California, parents who fail to fulfill child support obligations for over 90 days will now be registered in the National Registry of Child Support Obligations (RNOA). This announcement came from Ana Carolina Valencia Márquez, a magistrate from the state’s Superior Court of Justice, during a session with Tijuana’s Bar Association. Valencia highlighted that with the future establishment of the State Registry, the period for registration would be shortened to 60 days.
The magistrate elaborated on the potential consequences for parents who defy court orders on child support payments. These include holding passports for foreign nationals, notifying the National Institute of Migration to prevent their departure from the country, and potentially freezing their bank accounts.
Additionally, the new rules stipulate penalties not just for non-compliant parents, but also for employers who provide false information about the parent’s income or fail to make necessary income deductions. Such employers may be held jointly responsible as set out in the Penal Code.
Valencia emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating that no authority could ignore or falsify information related to child support due to its constitutional importance outlined in Articles 1 and 4. The measures aim to ensure the well-being and sustenance of minors.

In further legal advancements aimed at strengthening family and child protection in Baja California, Tijuana will see two new family courts specifically focused on cases of domestic violence against women. This development follows recent community outcry and highlights the region’s commitment to addressing family-related legal issues comprehensively.
Moreover, Tijuana has initiated supervised visitations between parents and their children to ensure safety and compliance with custody agreements. The move is part of a broader strategy to support family integrity while safeguarding children’s interests.
In industrial news, Prime Wheel Tijuana faced closure due to multiple safety and hygiene violations after a tragic worker incident. The enforcement action reflects increasing scrutiny on workplace safety standards in response to public and familial concerns.
