Re: legal obligation of parents

Thanks for referring an interesting question of law involved in the matter.

I had carefully gone into the facts narrated by you in your reference.

A person of 21 years is major.

Legal obligations of parents to their children are till they attain age of majority. If you are having self acquiring property , you are not

required to provide a support under the

law to your major child.Position is different if parents propety of a kind wherein child has an undivided share

therein.

As you say that you major child emotionally and physsically abuses you / parent. At any /every time when your

child whether son or daughter abuses you,

you can lodge a criminal complaint against her /him.

In case you find any difficulty, please don�t hasitate to recommunicate your problem.

All possible assistance will be provided you.
