To explain the theme, the methodology of bibliographical research will be used, cases collected from jurisprudence as well as an interview with a father who for years indirectly supported his son's addiction through the payment of the alimony. Initially, an analysis will be carried out on the right-duty of food to the vulnerable, discussing this institute, the types of food, its characteristics and purposes. Then, three cases involving addicted children and alimony will be presented, in order to finally discuss possible alternatives to guarantee assistance while avoiding drug consumption.
