The children of a deceased parent are not responsible for the medical bills incurred whether it is a hospital, attending physician, diagnostic facility or others. The only time they could be held responsible is when they have entered into an agreement with medical providers to accept such costs.
As long as the child is not a cosigner on the debt, the child is not responsible for parent's debt. The parent's estate would be responsible for the debt. Technically this could reduce the inheritance the child receives, but it is not the responsibility of the child.
When the child reaches age 18, he is legally considered to be an adult in Wisconsin. A hospital or doctor could not pursue you to pay the child's medical bills. There are other ways that a parent could be held responsible for an 18-year-old's medical care. For example, if the parent had been court-ordered to provide health insurance as part of a child support order. Under health reform, a parent can keep a child on his health insurance until the child reaches age 26. Some plans will not allow you to keep the child on your plan if the child has an employer-sponsored plan offered to him. And you cannot cover your child's spouse or children on your plan.
The estate would be responsible, but if the dying person had no assets, I do not think they could hold the spouse responsible, unless he or she signed a paper guaranteeing medical bills. what do you mean you think, do you know for sure?
It would depend on whether they are legally separated. If they are still married, she could be held responsible.
the Missouri compromise determined that Missouri could become a state if
In most states, a parent is responsible until a child is out of high school. That could move the date of responsibility past the age of 18.
it could be w=either parent because the female has XX and the male has XY, in which both the X's could come form the mom or one could come from the father. The Y could also include to make a male. So it really is both and either parent.
If they are under the age of 18, you certainly can. You are responsible for whatever they do while unsupervised.
The wife is not directly responsible unless she is on the contract. Florida courts could rule that the spouse benefited from the debts and could be held responsible. The estate has to pay the debts before she can inherit anything.
I do believe a parent is responsible for their children's actions. Being a parent is a big responsibility, and a large part of parenting is giving guidance, instruction, and being an example to them. If a child does something wrong, a parent needs to first ask his or herself what could have been done to prevent it, and what must be done to remedy the situation. This could be a great teaching moment for a parent, to display to a child the responsibility of making amends for the wrongs committed. A child needs to know right from wrong first, and then be shown by example the parents understanding of right and wrong.
If the parent is completly providing the food and shelter & responsible for the health & safety and the 23 year old is not employed nor has any income, then she and the child could both be claimed
