Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the parents can be ordered to pay ongoing child maintenance despite grandparents covering the son's needs.
Decisione estratta
No. The grandparents' voluntary support already discharged the parents' maintenance debt to the extent of their contributions, so no maintenance order was necessary.
Motivazione estratta
A third party who intentionally pays the debtor's maintenance obligation liberates the parents pro tanto. The grandparents were found to be acting in place of the parents and to intend extinguishing their debt.
