Hierarchy Of Supporting One’s Dependents
What is the hierarchy or order of precedence in supporting one’s parents?
The right of one’s mother comes before the right of one’s father (respectively for grandparents, great grandparents, and their direct ascendants); and the right of one’s parent comes before the right of one’s child; though this precedence is only relevant in the absence of sufficient funds to support everyone.
