Obligation to pay alimony
In terms of family law, this generally deals with the statutory obligation based on marriage or other relationships to provide maintenance for another person. On the other hand the person entitled has the right for maintenance. This implies that the person entitled to maintenance is not able to provide reasonable maintenance for himself from his own income and property (need for care) and the liable party is in a position to pay maintenance without endangering its own maintenance (provider of support).
The violation of the statutory maintenance obligation can be punished with a prison sentence up top three years or with a fine. We talk about the obligation to pay maintenance of spouses to reasonably maintain the family through their work and by their income and property (family maintenance). The spouse living separated may demand reasonable maintenance from the other one according to the living conditions and earning and financial circumstances of the spouses.
