Could a parent be responsible for medical bills of a 20 year old child in the state of Missouri?
In Missouri, parents are generally not legally responsible for the medical bills of their adult children once they turn 18. However, if the 20-year-old child is still a full-time student and dependent on the parents for support, there may be specific circumstances where parents could be held responsible, particularly if they signed any agreements or if the child is unable to pay. It’s advisable for parents and adult children to review any applicable insurance policies and state laws regarding medical debt.
