Legal Question in Family Law in Canada

parental support

I recently found out that a parent can sue their children for support. My parents are divorced and my mom recieves support payment from my Dad, my dad has just recently lost his job and is now taking her back to court to have his support payment lifted. My mom went to see her lawyer and he has told her that she could go after her children for support. My question is is that true or false?
