The Obligation of Support from the Mother to the Children

Question
When does the obligation of support become mandatory for the mother towards her children?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: Maintenance is obligatory for the mother towards the children if the mother is wealthy, and their father is either in financial difficulty, deceased, or traveling with no news of him, and God knows best.
