Parental Obligations And Support

Summary

Parents are generally not legally required to provide non-essential items or financial support to adult children. Favoritism, while emotionally challenging, is not typically a legal issue. For dental pain, consult a healthcare professional. Call the police for immediate threats to safety or property.

Parenting is the process of helping a child develop into an adult. My parents never did anything to ensure their own children were successful in life and the purpose of parenthood is to prepare their children for adulthood. It was their responsibility to show me and my twin brother how to be adults. My father didn't provide Dale and me with driving lessons, nor did he purchase a car for us or assist with finding colleges or covering tuition fees. He has never did anything at all to ensure two out * of his children were successful in life. He even said do you trust those idiots behind the wheel? He also said I'm not buying them a car and they are not going on my insurance.He showed significant favoritism towards David, teaching him how to drive, purchasing his first car, covering college expenses, funding his EMT training, and frequently buying him video game systems, while neglecting to provide similar support to his other children.
Hi Patrick, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. While favoritism can be emotionally challenging, generally, parents are not legally obligated to provide financial support or resources like driving lessons or college tuition once children reach adulthood. However, there might be other avenues to explore. Are you seeking any specific type of legal advice or assistance related to this matter?
