Parents are obliged to provide maintenance to a child who is not yet able to support himself. The regulations provide for situations after which we can bring about the cessation of alimony payments. However, it should be remembered that the abrogation of the alimony obligation can only be done through a court decision. It therefore requires the filing of an appropriate lawsuit. Parents may evade maintenance payments to a child of full age: if they are combined with undue hardship for them; if the child does not make efforts to obtain the possibility of self-support; if the demand for maintenance is contrary to the principles of social intercourse. The obligation is waived by the child’s attainment of financial independence, the cessation of further education, the child’s marriage, and a parent finding himself in a difficult situation.
