Title VIII — Support
Article 208
ELI5— what this means for you
When the person obliged to give support is a minor, the obligation falls on their parents or guardians first. The minor's own property is only used for support when the parents or guardians have no means to provide it.
Official text — EO 209
In case of contractual support or that given by will, the excess in amount beyond that required for legal support shall be subject to levy on attachment or execution.
Furthermore, contractual support shall be subject to adjustment whenever modification is necessary due to changes of circumstances manifestly beyond the contemplation of the parties. (n)
