ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC POLICIES FOR PROCEDURAL CELERITY IN ALIMONY PROCEEDINGS, IN A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE LAWYER OF LIMA EAST

Abstract

The study analyzes public policies aimed at promoting procedural celerity in alimony proceedings processed in a Justice of the Peace in East Lima. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures implemented to guarantee timely justice and effective compliance with the right to alimony. In the Peruvian context, these processes are imperative for safeguarding the well-being of children and adolescents. However, significant delays persist that affect access to justice and protection for beneficiaries. A qualitative approach, bolstered by a meticulous documentary analysis and a systematic review of sources indexed in Scopus and Redalyc, was employed to identify the primary structural, regulatory, and administrative barriers impeding the efficient processing of files. The findings indicate deficiencies in inter-institutional coordination, inadequate human and technological resources, and an inconsistent implementation of the digital mechanisms established by the Judiciary. The proposed strategies encompass a multifaceted approach, including the comprehensive digitalization of processes, the continuous training of judicial personnel, and the institutionalization of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The implementation of these measures would facilitate the optimization of judicial management and the enhancement of access to justice in matters pertaining to maintenance. This, in turn, would contribute to the adherence to the principle of the best interests of the child.
