Elderly Parents Entitled to Claim Maintenance From Neglectful Children

Elderly Parents Entitled to Claim Maintenance From Neglectful Children

Imagine your parents gave you a gift, like a house, hoping you'd take care of them.

If you don't, they can go to court!

The law says elderly parents can ask their kids for money to live on if the kids aren't helping.

A judge visited an old folks home to talk about this.

The judge explained that if kids don't do what they promised, parents can even take back the gifts they gave.

The government provides free legal help to the elderly who need it.

It's like a promise - if you get something from your parents, you need to look after them.
