Filial Responsibility Laws and Cross-State Enforcement

The speakers discuss the challenges faced by state governments in enforcing filial responsibility laws across state lines and express their support for cultural influences, rather than legal implementation, to encourage care for aging parents. They emphasize the importance of strong relationships with siblings, relatives, and parents when planning for care in old age and highlight the difficulties strained relationships can cause. The chapter stresses the need to build and enhance relationships from an early age to ensure appropriate caregiving solutions.
