What to do when adult children do not want to take care of their own...?

If the problem is that the adult children do not provide financial support to the disabled mother, then she has the right to file a lawsuit in court to collect alimony. Such an application must be submitted to the local court at the mother's place of residence. A corresponding claim can be filed against one child or against all children together.

The statement of claim must also be accompanied by evidence that will confirm that the children do not take care of the mother (do not provide financial assistance), as well as the following documents:

• birth certificates of children;

• documents confirming the mother's incapacity for work (pension certificate, ID card with a disability, or a certificate from the MSEK on establishing a disability group);

• documents confirming the mother's evidence of the need for financial assistance (for example, a certificate from the Pension Fund Office about the amount of the pension; a certificate from a medical institution about illnesses; checks confirming payment for medical examinations, operations, purchase of medicines);

• certificate of family composition;

Also, witnesses can be involved in the case, who will confirm that the disabled mother is unable to take care of herself and provide for herself.
