Supporting the elderly has nothing to do with whether they have property or house. Parents have the obligation to support and educate their children; Children have the obligation to support their parents. When parents fail to perform their duty of support, children who are minors or cannot live independently have the right to ask their parents to pay maintenance fees. When children fail to perform their duty of support, parents who are unable to work or have difficulties in living have the right to require their children to pay alimony.
 Legal basis:
 Article 1067 of the Civil Code: If parents fail to perform their obligations of upbringing, minor children or adult children who cannot live independently have the right to demand that their parents pay maintenance fees.
 Adult children who fail to perform their obligations of support, parents who lack the ability to work or who are in difficulty in life, have the right to demand that adult children pay alimony.
