What is the amount of maintenance obligatory upon a father for his two-and-a-half-year-old son, taking into consideration his mentioned financial and family situation?

The obligation regarding the maintenance of relatives is to provide sufficiency. If the maintenance falls short of accommodating all who are entitled, then the maintenance of children takes precedence over the maintenance of parents. The available funds are to be divided proportionally among the children if they are of equal status. However, when there is a difference in age or gender, some jurists have stated that the younger is given precedence over the older, and the female over the male.
