My mother is trying to extort money My mother is trying to extort money

5 months ago

So my parents decided to buy a flat for investment 3 years back which is not yet ready and it's loan is still going on (when I say my parents I only mean my mother because my father is entirely controlled by her). A few months back they again purchased another one and I have no idea about it nor they asked me or I was directly or indirectly involved. I am pretty sure they didn't plan their finances and they purchased 2nd one even though they couldn't afford it. Now the debt and interest is troubling them and my mother is forcing me to pay for their debt. I denied paying because this wasn't my decision or responsibility so she is forcing me to leave the house if I don't pay. Actually I cannot afford to stay by myself since I am only 26 and I hardly am 15 months into my first job so not great pay. Moreover the current house we are staying is actually purchased after selling my grandfather's property so technically I am staying at my grandfather's house and not what my mother have purchased fully by her own money. Can I defend myself legally from this trouble and also can they force me to leave the house this way?

A.Dear Client,
You have the right to refuse to pay for your parents' debts, as they are their own financial obligations and you are not legally responsible for them unless you have co-signed on the loan or have taken on the debt yourself. Your mother cannot force you to leave the house simply because you refuse to pay for her debts.

A.Dear Sir,
You may just stay away from your parents and you may share some finance for their livelihood if they have no source of income. They cannot do anything against you.
