North Carolina H49 clarifies that children are not liable for their parents' debts.
North Carolina H49, the Filial Debt Fairness Act, amends the state's filial responsibility law to explicitly state that children cannot be held liable for their parents' debts. The act specifies that if a person neglects to support their sick or unable-to-work parents without reasonable cause, they may face misdemeanor charges. If multiple children are responsible for the same parents, they must share the support duties equally. The act takes effect upon becoming law.
