Not if she choose to pay for it, without prior agreement of the adult child who may have agreed to reimburse through insurance or savings. There would be an exception if the adult child had mental or other disabilities and was not able to make such arrangements, under those circumstances, the mother would claim against the deceased's estate, if there was any estate from her late child.
Yes, they are an adult.
No it's the person that is paying for the funeral or an executor of the deceased's estate.
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
It depends on your state.
If the child is a minor, yes, they are. If the child is an adult, no, they are not.
Not if that child is married then yes the parents would be responsible.
If there was an order in place, it's enforceable - there's no statute of limitations on collecting past-due child support. However, the State will intervene in order to be reimbursed for assistance issued (but not food stamps). If no order was ever entered, it's too late now unless the child is severely handicapped.
No, the mother is the one that paid for taking care of the kid and is the one that should be reimbursed for it. If the mother has passed, the money is owed to her estate.
When the child turns 18 and becomes an adult, the parent is no longer obligated to pay child support.
I feel that if a child is taken to the ER or has to be burried, then it is the responsiblity of the adult that was in care of the child at that particular moment.
Typically, the custodial parent of a minor continues to receive child support until the minor becomes an adult or is emancipated.
A will makes no difference other than to indicate if the deceased parent left funds either money or life insurance to pay the cost of their funeral. They are still you're parent, so the adult child should pay, that is the moral stance. However, legally, the children do not have the funds to pay for the funeral, then they can ask the government for help. Most governments usually will provide for the cost of a basic funeral for a deceased, if that deceased left no means from their estate to meet their own funeral costs.
