The Court of Appeal dismissed the mother's appeal to terminate her child support obligation, upholding the lower court's decision. The mother argued that the father's financial situation and her own changed circumstances justified ending the payments, but the court found no material change in her ability to pay. The court ruled that the father's continued education and the mother's refusal to utilize her earning potential or maintain contact with the child necessitated the continuation of support until the child is independent.

Art. 385 k.p.c.; Art. 58 k.r.s.: The obligation to pay child support continues until the child reaches the age of majority or obtains sufficient means of independent living, and it may not be terminated merely because the obligor's financial situation has changed, provided the obligee has not demonstrated a significant change in their own financial capacity or a substantial change in the child's needs.
