What properties are answerable for support of legitimate ascendants; descendants whether legitimate or illegitimate; and brothers and sisters, whether legitimately or illegitimately related?


In case of legitimate ascendants; descendants, whether legitimate or illegitimate; and brothers and sisters, whether legitimately or illegitimately related, only the separate property of the person obliged to give support shall be answerable provided that in case the obligor has no separate property, the absolute community or the conjugal partnership, if financially capable, shall advance the support, which shall be deducted from the share of the spouse obliged upon the liquidation of the absolute community or of the conjugal partnership. (Art. 197, Family Code)
