The most frequently encountered type of alimony avoidance is the one committed by parents against their children. Therefore, the article mentions, in particular, the issue of justified needs of children. These are needs satisfaction of which allows the child to live in conditions corresponding to their age, health condition and education. This does not regard only securing the minimal existential needs. If the child has a passion, special talents that they want to develop, securing these needs must be also considered as basic.
