Hey,
In the context of alimony in Switzerland, "support in kind" refers to the provision of goods or services to fulfill the financial obligations towards a former spouse or children, rather than making direct cash payments.
For example, instead of paying a specific amount of money each month as alimony, the individual responsible for providing support might contribute by directly covering expenses such as utilities, healthcare costs, or educational expenses for their children ( Also for ex-spouses, but exceptionally).
Support in kind can also include providing housing, transportation, or other essential needs directly rather than through monetary transfers.
