Parental support

The old Family Relations Act used to allow parents to sue their adult children for support. That part of the Family Relations Act was repealed on 24 November 2011 and is not carried forward in the new Family Law Act, and as result claims for parental support may no longer be brought in British Columbia.


This information applies to British Columbia, Canada. Last reviewed for legal accuracy by JP Boyd, March 24, 2013.
