Support includes everything necessary for sustenance, dwelling, clothing, medical attendance,

education and transportation, in keeping with the financial capacity of your family.

In the Protection Order, the judge will direct the employer of your husband or live-in partner to remit
the support directly to you and your children.

Article 194 of the Family Code defines “support” as comprising everything indispensable for
sustenance, dwelling, clothing, medical attendance, education and transportation, in keeping with
the financial capacity of the family.

Support pendente lite (while the case is being heard in court) may be claimed according to the Rules
of Court.

Payment must be made within the first five days of each corresponding month. When the recipient
dies, his heirs cannot be obliged to return what he has received in advance. xdezxdxzzxx
