Does the father need support if he fails to fulfill his duty of support?
Father has not fulfilled his duty of support and needs support.

Legal analysis

The so-called support mainly refers to the act of providing parents with necessary daily necessities and expenses economically, that is, assuming certain economic responsibilities, providing necessary economic help and giving reasonable material requirements. The main content of support and assistance means that under the existing economic and social conditions, children should provide their parents with necessary necessities and expenses economically, and should respect, care and take care of their parents in life, spirit and emotion. Adult children with financial ability, whether male or female, married or unmarried, should try their best to fulfill this obligation when their parents need support until their parents die. Children's obligation to support their parents occurs not only between children born in wedlock and their parents, but also between children born out of wedlock and their parents, between adopted children and adoptive parents, and between stepchildren and stepparents who have fulfilled their obligation to support education. Generally speaking, after a child lives independently as an adult, parents no longer have the obligation to support him materially and in life. However, parents have the obligation to educate and support their adult children. In the following circumstances: 1, they lose their ability to work or partially lose their ability to work, and their income is not enough to support their lives; 2. Still studying at school; 3, there is no independent living ability and conditions.
