What if my parents-in-law don't go to work without savings?

There is no way. As descendants, we can't ask our parents-in-law to work, and we also have the obligation to support them.

Support, pronounced shàn y?ng, is a Chinese word, which means the act of providing financial support for parents.

Parental support for children

According to the Constitution, adult children have the obligation to support and assist their parents. China's marriage law also stipulates that children have the obligation to support and assist their parents. When children fail to perform their maintenance obligations, parents who are unable to work or have difficulties in life have the right to ask their children to pay alimony.

The main content of support and assistance means that under the existing economic and social conditions, children should provide their parents with necessary necessities and expenses economically, and should respect, care and take care of their parents in life, spirit and emotion.

Adult children with financial ability, whether male or female, married or unmarried, should try their best to fulfill this obligation when their parents need support until their parents die.

Children's obligation to support their parents occurs not only between children born in wedlock and their parents, but also between children born out of wedlock and their parents, between adopted children and adoptive parents, and between stepchildren and stepparents who have fulfilled their obligation to support education.

In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the dependents, the Marriage Law stipulates that parents have the right to ask their children to pay alimony when they are unable to work or have difficulties in life and fail to perform their alimony obligations. Refuse to perform, can be resolved through litigation. If the circumstances are vile and constitute a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
