120 THE FAMILY
343 The court may order a person who owes support to
furnish security, beyond the judicial hypothec, for payment of
that support.
Notwithstanding Article 368 of the Book on Property, it
may also order that any property of the person who owes
support be affected by the judicial hypothec, and appoint a
person to be put in possession of the property.
344 If the debtor offers to take the person entitled to support
into his home, he may be dispensed from paying all or a part
of the support, if circumstances so justify.
345 The creditor may exercise his recourse against one of the
debtors or against several of them simultaneously.
The debtor who has not been sued may be impleaded.
346 The court fixes the amount of support to be paid by each
of the debtors, taking account of the circumstances.
The debtor who has been ordered to pay has a recourse
against a debtor who has not been impleaded.
347 Support awarded by judgment may be reviewed whenever
circumstances so justify.
The review may be made notwithstanding appeal; if the
appeal is allowed, the judgment pronouncing upon the
application for review falls, subject to a new application.
348 Support cannot be transferred or seized, except as
regards debts for support.
It may be seized, however, by any person who has
provided the recipient of the support with the necessities of life
or has paid debts for support on behalf of the recipient.
