Yes/No. It depends on what you mean by responsible. Tort law could see a special relationship, so yes-ish. I mean it just is too broad of a question to be answered. Call a lawyer in New York.

Is a parent financially responsible for a twenty year old?

No, they're not. At 18 a child is LEGALLY an adult, and have to pay their own bills and costs if the parents are not willing to do it. -- Yes, if they meet the following: still live at home with no means to support themselves or if they are still attending school. I do not think this applies everywhere. This continues until age 21 in some countries, but mostly 18 the (civilized) western world. This applies in the United States until 21, but only if the child meets the above criteria. If the parent has kicked them out even with no way to support themselves then they are not responsible. However as long as they are living under the parents roof they are until 21.
