Duration of Financial Responsibility for Offspring: Parental Financing Obligations
In Germany, the duty of parents to support their children in their education is a significant responsibility. This support typically extends until the child completes their first educational path, which is usually by the age of 25. At this point, child benefits (Kindergeld) payments stop during education or training.
However, if a child has an apprentice wage or works part-time during holidays, they are expected to contribute to the costs. The article does not provide specifics on what constitutes "reasonable limits" for these costs, nor does it discuss the financial implications for parents who are supporting their children beyond the age of 25.
It's worth noting that the first education can potentially extend beyond the age of 25 if a child chooses to pursue a university degree. The article does not specify what happens if a child is unable to contribute to the costs due to their work situation.
If a child lives with their parents, they shouldn't have to pay for external accommodation. The article does not mention financial support being provided if a child chooses not to pursue further education after completing their first education.
Interestingly, the most popular books of this decade have not been specified in the article.
In summary, parents in Germany have a duty to support their children in their education until they complete their first educational path. Children are expected to contribute if they can, and reasonable limits on education costs are implied but not explicitly defined. It's also important to note that there is no fixed maximum age limit for parents' financial support.
