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.
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.
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.
If the child is over age 18, then the parent is not responsible for the child's medical bills. The child is legally responsible for anything that the insurance policy did not pay.
Some medical insurance plans will cover an adult child up to about age 24 under certain circumstances. Some plans will cover them if they are in college, living at home or are permanent dependents of the parents.
Generally speaking no, unless the children are still legal depedents. That's a legal answer. Philisophically, that's up to you.
No, they are not
Parents shouldn't be responsible for adult children.
I would certainly hope so.
yes definitely!
CHIP Insurance meets the medical insurance needs of children whose parents meet certain income requirements. Children often injure themselves as they play and explore, and children share germs with each other every day. Medical insurance gives all parents a financial resource, enabling them to seek proper medical care for their children. Many parents cannot provide medical insurance due to the economic environment today. CHIP ensures children have access to physicians, specialists, and medications. Information can be found online or through the local department of public welfare.
No. Emancipated children have no legal ties to their parents.
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.
