239. Each child of a judge who dies while in office or after retirement is entitled to receive, as pension,(1) if a pension is paid to the judge’s spouse, 10% of the pension used as the basis for computing the spouse’s pension;
(2) if there is no spouse entitled to a pension, 20% of the pension which would have been used as the basis for computing the spouse’s pension;
(3) if the judge’s spouse dies while receiving a pension, 20% of the pension used as the basis for computing the spouse’s pension and indexed from the judge’s death.
However, if there are more than four children, the total amount of the pensions payable to them shall in no case exceed the amount representing 10% or 20%, as the case may be, of the basis amount, multiplied by four, which shall be divided equally among the children.
