The child's right to maintenance is the fundamental right of every child to be financially supported by their own parents. This legal norm stems from parental responsibility, implying the obligation to care for one's own child as well as ensuring adequate financial support during the child's life. For minors, the maintenance obligation lasts until the age of majority, i.e. until the age of eighteen, while for adults it lasts until the age of twenty-six. Exceptions to the above rule exist in cases of a child's disability or a more severe form of illness, when the parental obligation to support continues after twenty-six years. In cases where parents cannot fulfill their legal obligation to support, the legal system provides mechanisms that enable the child to achieve his right to support through the court or other institutions and social assistance programs. The child's right to maintenance is recognized by the most important international agreement in the field of protection of children's rights – Convention on the Right's of the Child, which indicates that maintenance is a priority obligation of parents, and that the state must ensure its appropriate implementation. The aforementioned legal provision plays a crucial role in the protection and promotion of children's rights, ensuring equal opportunities for development and a dignified life for minors and adults.
