FOOD FOR ELDERLY CHILDREN.
Recently, the Supreme Court has issued the Ruling No. 4925/15 of December 2, 2015, which deals with the distinction between alimony for minor children and alimony for adult children who continue to live with only one of the parents.
For minor children, these allowances are provided according to «the economic circumstances and economic needs of the children at all times«"Whereas for older children, the ruling states that..." «"They are proportional to the wealth of the giver and the needs of the receiver" -Article 146 CC- and are limited to the food that is essential for sustenance, housing, clothing and medical assistance, in accordance with Article 142 CC"«.
This narrower concept of child support for adult children has its effects on the "minimum living wage," since the ruling establishes that when a child is of legal age and continues to live in the family home, and the dependent does not have sufficient income, «less than four hundred euros a month«"The termination of the alimony pension is appropriate, without respecting the "minimum living wage", unlike alimony for minors.
And the ruling ends by remembering that, unlike the first fixing of maintenance, its subsequent modification or termination will not have effects from the lawsuit but from the ruling that so decides.
