Alimony priority: wife children or parents

The article discusses the hierarchy of legal priorities among those entitled to maintenance, especially the spouse, children, parents, and relatives. It affirms that marital maintenance begins from the time of marriage and includes expenses for food, clothing, housing, and medical care. Meanwhile, the maintenance for children continues until the age of fifteen if the child is capable of earning an income or is studying appropriately. It also explains that the maintenance owed to parents and relatives depends on need and financial capacity, and that the amount varies according to the recipients' needs and changing financial and social circumstances. The article indicates that the court determines the amount of maintenance based on evidence of income and financial ability. In cases where entitlement overlaps among multiple parties, priority is given to the spouse, then to the children, and finally to the parents, according to the legal hierarchy, with the possibility of legal enforcement if payment is withheld.
