Interestingly no case law on the statute since 1969. And it seems like federal statutes regarding medicaid and food stamps don't permit recovery from children for funds expended so the only entity that could recover if they had to support the parents would be the state and I'm not sure how much state assistance there is any more that isn't in some way subsidized by the federal government. I have a feeling that although the statute is still on the books it isn't actually enforceable these days (it also requires that the parents are unable to provide for themselves which I imagine means they must seek out assistance where possible before seeking out the assistance of their children). Glad you all like the new format :)

I think the statute is strange. I would also support my parents no matter what, but what about people who had bad parents? People who's parents were on drugs? People who's parents beat them? Would they, too, be required to support their parents? I guess in Indiana, they would. That isn't fair. Love the new format!! I think the statute is strange.

Mostly because I'm quite the nerdy, lawyerly type myself. I like your new format very much… especially the addition of the Litigate section. Mostly because I'm quite the nerdy, lawyerly type myself.
