- It includes adult son (children who are not minors).

- It includes adult daughter (again, they must be adults).

- It also considers adult grandson in some contexts (especially if the direct children are not alive).

- Minor son is NOT included, because only adults can be legally bound for maintenance. Minors cannot be held responsible.
