AnswerLegally? When a mentally competent child turns 18 a parent has no legal obligation to the child. I have no idea if the child is mentally incompetent.

Morally? I guess that would be up the the parent and their relationship with the child.

I have a 20 year old Autistic son at home. Legally, I do not have to care for him but morally? I love him and do not want to see him homeless so he works and I handle his money so that he does not blow it all while I continue to teach him about the real world, bill and obligations so that one day he may be a productive citizen.

We make him pay rent which in turn I will give back to him when he moves out (even though he does not know that) and I make him purchase his personal products and clothing while I still prepare meals for the family so we do not make him purchase separate food unless he wishes to eat something else.

It depends on whether your parental rights are terminated legally and the circumstances.

Giving up custody and visitation rights will not free you from the obligation of child support.
