Legal Liability of Parents: What You Need to Know


Questioner

Can you tell me how the legal liability of parents towards their adult child works? Our son is now 19 and has a lot of debt and a drug problem. He does not want professional help and does not live at home. We have been told that we are responsible until he is 21.

Lawyer

No, unless he is studying and receives funding from DUO until the age of 21, then you are still required to contribute. But you are not liable for his actions or the consequences.
