Main Topic: Title IX. Support Art. 290-304

| A Sister Supporting Her Sibling to be Educate |
Art. 291. The following are obliged to support each other to the whole extent set forth in the preceding article:
Brothers and sisters owe their legitimate and natural brothers and sisters, although they are only of the half-blood, the necessaries for life, when by a physical or mental defect, or any other cause not imputable to the recipients, the latter cannot secure their subsistence. This assistance includes, in a proper case, expenses necessary for elementary education and for professional or vocational training.
Discussion:
The above article clearly applies to brothers and sisters who are “not legitimately related” to each other and therefore the exception above will also apply to these brothers and sisters, that is, support will cease when a brother or a sister has reached the age of majority and his or her need for support is due to the cause imputable to his or her fault or negligence.
