The role of a parent to an adult child evolves from providing direct care and guidance to offering support and encouragement as they navigate their own lives. Parents can serve as a source of wisdom, emotional support, and a sounding board for decisions, while respecting their child's independence and autonomy. Maintaining open communication and establishing mutual respect are key to fostering a healthy adult relationship. Ultimately, the focus shifts to being a partner in their child's journey rather than a primary authority figure.
A parent can get the medical records of an adult child if the adult child gives express permission.
Is this a trick question? If the child is legally an adult (and therefore 'emancipated') then there is no "custodial" parent.
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.
extremely unlikely
I don't know about 'perceived' but they do have an objective role. To morally guide the child and prepare him for independence as an adult.
No. The custodial parent is/was the obligor, not the child.
No, they are not.
Only if you prove to be an "unfit" or bad parent. The parent that is an adult has not more rights to the child because they are an adult and you are not.
Only if the parent is the legal guardian of the child's person. If the child is a danger to herself or others, the parent can petition the courts for involuntary commitment.
No, the filing period ended at age 18 for the parent, and age 19 for the adult child.
No, child support is not paid to the child but to the parent raising the child.
