This is so OT, but it has finally happened.

I was wondering when the filial laws were triggered as I have been aware of this law for years, being a licensed PA lawyer and all.

Bwahahahaha.

"The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has declined to review lower court decisions in HCRA v. Pittas. As a result, adult children with an ill parent or parents should be aware that they can be successfully sued in Pennsylvania for the parent’s nursing home bill.

This is true even if the child or children did not transfer assets from the parent for their own enrichment, or even if there are other family members available. The decisions were based upon interpretation of the so called “filial support” laws in Pennsylvania."
