Parental Responsibilities and Rights
When people become parents they have legal responsibilities and rights in respect of their children. Parents must give their children enough support to live at the same standard of living as the parents. This duty continues until the children are self-supporting. This support includes food, clothing, housing, medical and dental expenses, and education. Children are minors until they reach the age of 18.
These responsibilities and rights came into force on the 1st July 2007.
