Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, who are in their eighties, recently sued their three sons in court for fulfilling their obligation to support them. The third son argued in court that his parents were not evenly divided and had no right to demand alimony. The case was tried by Wengyuan Court, and the final verdict was that Sanzi must pay monthly alimony.
The plaintiff, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, have a total of 5 sons and 1 daughter, namely Zhang Jia, Zhang Yi, Zhang Bing, Zhang Ding, Zhang Wu, and Zhang Ji, all of whom have established their own families and businesses. During the trial, Zhang A accused that his second son Zhang Yi is currently missing, and only his fourth son Zhang Ding and eldest daughter Zhang Ji are supporting their parents. The other three sons should fulfill their obligation to support them according to law. In their defense, all three of them believed that their parents' "separation of family" was uneven, and they refused to continue fulfilling their obligation to support them on the grounds of heavy family burden.
The court believes that it is a legal obligation for children to support their parents, and this obligation cannot be reduced or exempted due to issues such as whether the distribution of parental property is reasonable. In the end, the court ruled that the monthly support standard of 900 yuan for the two elders should be shared equally by the six children. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
