La incidencia de la extinción de las pensiones alimenticias en las situaciones socio económica y desarrollo integral de los estudiantes universitarios mayores de 21 años.

Abstract

The right to alimony is a legal figure which covers all aspects designed to ensure an optimum level of child and adolescent growth and well- being: feeding, apparel, housing, health, leisure and education. The Childhood and Adolescence Code states that the right to alimony ends on reaching legal age, or until the age of twenty- one when the individual continues his or her studies. This boundary is based on the assumption of fact that individuals when they reach this age are able to provide for themselves; however, this does not correspond to socio- legal reality. In practice, many twenty- s are not in a status to work and study at the same time in order to cover the expenses inherent in studying at university. This is why it is important to amend the Childhood and Adolescence Code in order to extend the right to alimony up to the end of his or her university studies.
