Title VIII — Support
Article 200
ELI5— what this means for you
The amount of support is not fixed — it is proportionate to the resources of the giver AND the needs of the recipient. As the giver's income grows or the recipient's needs change, the court can increase or decrease the support amount. This is a dynamic obligation, not a one-time fix.
Key point
Support is always adjustable. Changed income or changed needs = valid basis to go back to court for adjustment.
