Parental responsibility for child's debt
Depends. Did you co-sign for the debt? Was the debt incurred as a result of a "necessary" i.e., medical expense, food, shelter. Did your child still reside at home? Contact your local bar associations legal referrral service. They should provide you with an answer during a free consultation.
