Cases from practice

Recovery from the ex-husband of half of the funds spent by the ex-wife on interest payments for the use of the subsidy

Situation

The government provided the couple with a subsidy for the construction of a house. The money was transferred to the seller of building materials. However, the couple divorced before the construction of the house. The seller of building materials returned the funds. Based on the Budget Code, the government charged the client interest for the use of the subsidy, and the woman paid this interest to the government. The ex-husband refused to compensate her for half of the amount paid, so the woman sought help from the attorney.

Work process

During the consultation, the attorney concluded that the obligation to return the unused subsidy and pay interest for the misappropriation of state funds is a joint obligation, as the subsidy was issued to the entire family, not just the wife. By law, joint debts are taken into account when dividing property, so the lawyer prepared a claim for the recovery of unjust enrichment from the ex-husband for half of the amount paid by the client.

Result

The court granted the claim and recovered the entire amount requested from the ex-husband.
