Article 21 of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China: Parents have the obligation to raise and educate their children; Children have the obligation to support and assist their parents. Minors or children who cannot live independently have the right to ask their parents to pay alimony when their parents fail to perform their alimony obligations. Parents who are unable to work or have difficulties in living have the right to ask their children to pay alimony when they fail to fulfill their alimony obligations. Infanticide, abandonment and other acts that harm infants are prohibited. This is the law. The age of full civil liability in China is 18 years old. Therefore, if you 18 years old or older, parents should raise their children as long as you are still studying or have not found a job for the time being. However, if children don't go out to find a job or don't work, they can only be morally condemned.

What is the age at which children raise their parents?

At present, there is no age requirement in our country's law about when the elderly can obtain the right to support their children or when the children begin to assume the obligation to support the elderly. The law stipulates that "elderly people who are unable to work or have difficulties in life have the right to ask their children to do their duty of support". With regard to the legal provisions on the age of the elderly, Article 2 of the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly stipulates that the elderly mentioned in this Law refer to citizens over 60 years old.

It is a traditional virtue, family responsibility and ethics for children to support the elderly; It is also a legal responsibility and obligation. Specific legal provisions are as follows:

According to the Constitution, adult children have the obligation to support and assist their parents. The Marriage Law also stipulates that children have the obligation to support and assist their parents. When children fail to perform their maintenance obligations, parents who are unable to work or have difficulties in life have the right to ask their children to pay alimony. The Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly also stipulates that: supporters should fulfill their obligations of economic support, life care and spiritual comfort for the elderly and take care of their special needs; Supporters refer to the children of the elderly and other people who have the obligation to support according to law; The spouse of the supporter shall assist the supporter in fulfilling his maintenance obligations.

The main contents of support and assistance include:

Under the existing economic and social conditions, children should provide their parents with the 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.

Parents who are unable to work or have difficulties in living have the right to ask their children to pay alimony when they fail to fulfill their alimony obligations. Refuse to perform, can be resolved through litigation. If the circumstances are vile and constitute a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
