A child support lawsuit is a legal action initiated by the mother (or a representative for the children) against the father to claim child support for minor children after divorce or separation. In Egyptian law, child support is considered a fundamental right of children that must be provided by the father to meet their basic needs such as food, clothing, education, and healthcare.

Child support consists of several main types related to various needs of children, which include:

1. **Food Support**: This includes providing the necessary food for the children, as the father is expected to provide meals that are appropriate for their ages and nutritional needs.

2. **Clothing Support**: This covers the costs of necessary clothing for the children, which includes suitable clothes for each season and age group.

3. **Education Support**: This includes educational expenses such as tuition fees, books, and school supplies. It is essential for children to receive a good education to ensure their future.

4. **Healthcare Support**: This involves costs for necessary medical care and healthcare for the children. The father must provide basic healthcare for his children.

5. **Housing Support**: This includes providing adequate housing for the children. They should have a safe and suitable place to live.

Child support is a legal and moral responsibility that falls on the father, and he must adhere to providing these supports to ensure the rights of the children and help them grow up properly. If the support is not provided, the mother can take legal action to obtain the children's rights.
