maintenance payment
I know that this is talking about a monthly maintenance payment from one person to another, but i am unsure as to what "anticipada" means in context. Could this mean "advance" payment or perhaps "early" payment? Or maybe I'm way off track. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Upon the request for advance assignation of foodstuffs
I think you're right, it simply means "early" or "advance". As you say, for maintenance. Would need more context to make a better suggestion though.
