在美國，如果父母拒絕／無法還債，成年子女有可能被起訴付錢。這叫做filial responsibility statute, 全美有36個州的法律支持這一條款。即便你所在的州無此條款（比如紐約州），隻要父母所在的州起訴，成年子女依然有責任。

If mon can\'t pay, adult child must

This one\'s going to blow baby boomers\' minds. It concerns a little-known law dating to Elizabethan England suddenly being enforced with gusto in Pennsylvania. The law can force adult children to pay their parents\' health-care costs.

If Mom and Pop can\'t pay, you pay. If they have the money but refuse to pay, you pay. If you don\'t, watch your credit rating sink under the weight of a legal judgment that will haunt you for life.
