  • It’s not a common concept generally in the US but there are actual laws regarding financial obligations grown children legally have to their parents: " Filial responsibility laws impose a legal obligation on adult children to take care of their parents’ basic needs and medical care. Although most people are not aware of them, 30 states in the U.S. have some type of filial responsibility laws in place."

    Blew my mind to find this out since children come into this world without their consent and they do not get to choose their parents. States rarely enforce the policies but it can play a part in civil lawsuits. I guess the only way out of it is some sort of legal/financial emancipation order which is wild.
