Is there some way of getting legally speperated from your parents after you turn 18?
We have a bad situation, and don't talk to our parents anymore. We don't want to have to be financially responsible for them as they get older and maybe need to go to a Rest Home or something. They want nothing to with us, as do we. But I heard children are suppossed to pay the bills even if they have their estate liquidated to pay the bills and still owe money to the state or home. We don't even want to pay for the funeral. I don't want one dime of mine going to help these people when they get older. They put themsleves in this situation. Help!!

You have no legal obligation to your parents. They can choose to do with any assets they may possess whatever they wish. If they do have to go into a facility of some type the funds will come from their assets (estate).
As soon as you become an adult they are not legally responsible for you.. and YOU are not legally responsible for them..
That is the law in most states.
You aren't legally resposible for them once you turn 18.
Your not responsible for your parents. They were responsible for you until you turned 18.
The state will liquidate their assets then put them on social security to pay for their nursing home/assisted living needs. Many nursing homes are just for people on social security.
FYI - if your spouse needs to go into a nursing home, there are ways to have their assets liquidated, etc. so that you don't go bankrupt paying for their care. Talk to an estate attorney.
Get a job and move out and you are "legally separated."
it's a real shame that parents put themselves out over the years, teach you, see you thru your childhood illnesses, make sure you get to school and pay for that, pay for your dental, your transportation your clothing, even paid for the toilet paper you used to clean your butt and paid for the water your cleaned yourself with, and the shoes on your feet and you can't even find it in yourself to find one shread of decency to show them some respect for the surname, heredity or dna of a line that has existed thru centuries. That's very sad. I can see why they don't want anything to do with you.
I have no idea what you're asking about "getting legally separated from your parents after you turn 18" since when a person is 18 they are by law on their own. If you're still in your parents home and they are paying the bills for you then you are simply ungrateful and, by law you can leave anytime.
It depends on which state you are in, you'll hve to check the statutes at the Law Library for your answer, if in old age it's up to you to care for your parents or not. However your parents only have to fill out a will (where they can disown you, or legally give you $1 whichever the state law states), and a guardian representation form in their state and that person can take care of them in your stead and can take care of the bills they have when their SS disability, Social Security and Medicare kicks in. And no, children don't have to pay the bills of their parents, their estate pays that or they are eradicated. And no, they won't owe the home if they are on welfare. And, Social Security will pay for the casket and burial. They didn't put themselves into any situation, more than likely circumstances that did, however you don't have to life one finger, they've worked their lives and things will be taken care of WITHOUT YOUR HELP. So go on and live your lives, but remember this. Life is a boomerang. And God gave us a commandment to "honor our mother and father" and that includes taking care of them and loving them. What you do to your parents will come back to you onehundred fold. Don't expect your kids to be any more loving to you than you were to your parents. Your kids will follow your example. So be prepared to pay for your own retirement, your own mistakes in life, pay your own bills, for your own education, etc.
It's a shame that you don't even have college and you'e spouting off like this. Just wait till you find out that you can't get anywhere without college and the cost of college these days is exhorbitant and repaying those bills will take you thru age 112. If you had done what God commanded he would have rewarded you.You're right, you DO need help.
Children have no financial responsibility for their parents. If they need to be in a nursing home, you will not have to pay for that. The money will come from their assests, and when that runs out, they will become dependent on government assistance through Medicare.
Also, if they still owe money to anybody after their death, you will not be responsible for this. You will not be responsible to pay for the funeral.
Thus, there is no need for any legal action here. The law is already very clear that you are not financially responsible.
