First, parents have the obligation to educate and raise adult children if they can afford it:
1, losing the ability to work or partially losing the ability to work, and the income is not enough to maintain a living;
2. Still studying at school;
3, there is no independent living ability and conditions.
Two, the obligations of the supporter are:
1, the supporter shall ensure that the dependents buy two sets of coats, a set of underwear, shoes and hats and other personal items every year, and the expenses required shall be borne by the supporter * * * *;
2. The supporter shall properly arrange the diet structure of the dependents to ensure that the dependents have enough to eat and at least one meal of meat, fish, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits every week;
3. The supporter shall provide the dependents with safe, comfortable and convenient living places and other daily necessities, and the supporter shall properly arrange the dependents' housing, and shall not force the dependents to move to houses with poor conditions;
4. If the dependents can't travel by themselves, the dependents will arrange time for the dependents to travel, and the required transportation expenses will be borne by the current dependents;
5. When the dependent is sick, the dependent shall give timely treatment and take care of his life. To sum up, stepchildren have the obligation to support their stepmother. According to the law, if a stepson is raised and educated by his stepparents, then the stepson has the obligation to support his stepparents. However, if the stepparents fail to fulfill their responsibilities of caring, raising and educating their stepchildren, the stepchildren can choose not to support them.
If the parents are unable to support their young children, the children shall fulfill their obligations of support after independence.
Although the Civil Code stipulates the equal rights and obligations of parents and children to support each other, it does not mean that these two rights must be exchanged at equal value, and children cannot take whether their parents have fulfilled their obligations of raising and educating as the premise of fulfilling their obligations of supporting their parents. Therefore, children's obligation to support their elderly parents should not be lifted on this ground.
2. Whether the children have the obligation to support their elderly parents because their parents' wrong behavior has caused mental and physical harm to their children.
In the process of raising children, if some general mistakes of parents have caused mental harm to children, children should consciously fulfill their obligations to support their elderly parents when they grow up. However, parents who have committed crimes that seriously hurt their children's feelings and physical and mental health have, in principle, lost the right to ask for support from their murdered children. These situations include: the crime of parents killing their children, the crime of fathers raping their daughters, the crime of parents abusing and abandoning their children and so on.
3. Does a married daughter who has no economic income have the obligation to support?
The fact that a married daughter has no income cannot be used as a reason for refusing to perform the obligation of supporting her elderly parents. Because the housework they are engaged in has the same value as the husband's means of subsistence labor, and the income from their labor belongs to the joint property of husband and wife, both husband and wife enjoy equal right to dispose of the joint property of husband and wife, and they can pay alimony from the joint property of husband and wife.
