Is a parent financially responsible for a twenty year old?
Onawhim2
No, they're not. At 18 a child is LEGALLY an adult, and have to pay their own bills and costs if the parents are not willing to do it.

Yes, if they meet the following: still live at home with no means to support themselves or if they are still attending school. I do not think this applies everywhere. This continues until age 21 in some countries, but mostly 18 the (civilized) western world.
This applies in the United States until 21, but only if the child meets the above criteria. If the parent has kicked them out even with no way to support themselves then they are not responsible. However as long as they are living under the parents roof they are until 21.

Don't both parents have an obligation to financially support their child?
this answer is based on the income of both parties. with joint custody, generally neither party pays support, but supports the child 100% when in their care. However, if one parent makes 21K a year and the other parent makes 100K a year, the parent making considerably more should contribute to the other party making the child's home and needs equally comfortable.
