YES! Especially if the "adult child" is not financially tied to the parent or still living under their roof. To call someone "below you" is the definition of condescending. Living your life with hierarchies in mind, can only damage one's relationship with their "adult child" as their move from mother/daughter to friends.

Can a parent get medical records of an adult child?
A parent can get the medical records of an adult child if the adult child gives express permission.
What happens when a parent threatens an adult child?
The "adult child" can apply for a restriction order if the threat is serious. (The term "adult child" is contradictory, a more accurate term should be used.)
What rights do I have to my child's medical records?
If you child is a minor and you are a custodial parent, you should have complete access. If your child is an adult, none.
Can an adult child sue a non custodial parent for the parent's assets?
Is this a trick question? If the child is legally an adult (and therefore 'emancipated') then there is no "custodial" parent.
Can an adult sue a father for not paying child support?
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
What rights to a parent still have when child turns eighteen?
Helping the child, well i should say adult, make the right choices and find the right path. The parent should help them less then they did when they were younger.
If a parent of an adult is getting back court ordered child support and the parent is gambling it away can the adult child get it directly?
extremely unlikely
Should sexually abused children maintain a relationship with their abusive parent as an adult?
If the child who was abused by their parent wants to retain a relationship with them, it is their choice but I wouldn't as you never know what they'll do to you next. I would just consider that family member to be a non-entity.
Can a parent obtain legal custody if their child is already an adult?
No. However, if the adult child is unable to act on their own behalf for some reason the parent can petition to be appointed the adult's legal guardian. If that is the case you should consult with an attorney who specializes in special needs guardianships.
Should parents remain the owners of their child's life insurance policy after the child is a legal adult and married?
There not anything "wrong" with that morally or legally, especially if they are still paying for it. Generally though a parent will hand it over to their child once they consider them responsible enough to handle it themselves.
Can adult child waive arrearages?
No. The custodial parent is/was the obligor, not the child.
Can an adult sue a dead beat dad's estate for back child support?
No but that adult child's parent can file a claim for child support arrears that have been determined by the court. The arrears are due to the parent. You should consult with an attorney or an advocate at the family court as soon as possible if there is a substantial amount owed. Claims against an estate must be filed promptly.
