This paper presents the relationship between adult children and their parents under the child maintenance obligation of parents towards their children. The main subject of the deliberations is mutual respect between the two parties. Other issues analysed in the paper include parents – adult children relations other than those arising from parental authority, particularly in situations in which an adult child demands financial support to meet the cost of higher education. The violation by an adult child of the principles of social coexistence against parents with parental obligations is analysed, and a possibility of exempting parents from their obligation to provide for education when an adult child fails to fulfil his or her family obligations is also considered.Particular attention has been put on the children’s obligation to inform parents as well as the possibility of parents to seek and be given information in a situation in which they seek such exemption.
