earlier. The term "child" includes a child |

| born out of wedlock, or legally
adopted child.

| In addition to the primary obligation of support imposed |
| 16 |
| upon
responsible relatives, the
such relatives, if |
| 17 |
| individually or together
in any
combination they have |
| 18 |
| sufficient income or other resources to support a
needy person, |
| 19 |
| in whole or in part, shall be liable for any financial aid
|
| 20 |
