It depends on what was ordered by the courts. Often, one parent is responsible for maintaining medical insurance, but both are responsible for the portion that's not covered by insurance. It may be a 50/50 split, or it may be 60/40 or even 70/30. It all depends on each parent's financial status, as well as who has custody, etc.
No, they are not
It depends partially on the age of the children. If they are not adults, the parents are responsible. If the children are above the age of majority, and not on their parents' insurance, they should be responsible for their own debts.
Parents shouldn't be responsible for adult children.
The estate is responsible for the medical debts. The exception would be if the children were the insurance holder or co-signed the medical agreement.
yes definitely!
Parents are not responsible for their children once they have left home. In most cases requirements end at 18, but some places will require them to take care of their children until 21.
Children are not responsible for the debts of their parents. The estate must settle the debts. The exception would be if a child signed any paperwork gaurenteeing the medical costs.
Yes unless they way over 200 pounds
It is not the parents but the estate that is responsible for any remaining debts. That will include medical bills. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, someone will not get paid and the heirs may get nothing.
Parents are responsible for their children until they reach the age of majority or are emancipated.
Parents are completely responsible for their children's wellbeing, so it's parents to children.
AnswerYes, but I can't figure out why you'd want to be financially responsible for all his medical bills like that.
