Abstract: This article explores the issues of alimony for adult disabled children in need from the comparative legal perspective. In the comparative key the author examines the subject composition of parties, as well as conditions for provision of alimony (disability, need). This work considers the normative material and legal precedent of various legal families on the example of such states and state constructs as Germany, Russia, France, California (U. S.), Morocco, and Algeria. The author highlights the regularities of the institution of alimony that is common for all countries, as well as the specificity of each of them.
