Legislator introduces bill to expand child support concept

Assemblywoman Araceli Geraldo Núñez has introduced a bill to reform the Civil Code of the State of Baja California to expand the concept of child support payments. The goal is to ensure the comprehensive protection of children, adolescents, and the elderly.

The proposed bill aims to address the current, limited definition of child support in the Civil Code, which is restricted to basic necessities like food, clothing, housing, and illness assistance. This narrow scope has led to restrictive interpretations in courts. The new initiative seeks to explicitly include essential aspects such as preventive health care, all levels of education, comprehensive medical attention, and healthy recreation.
