Practice question
After a child reaches 18, a parent argues that RA 6809 necessarily erases every possible statutory parental responsibility for all purposes. The dispute specifically concerns the Civil Code Article 2180 responsibilities preserved by RA 6809 for children or wards below 21. Which analysis is correct?
- The parent's universal claim is correct.
- RA 6809 expressly preserves the identified Article 2180 responsibility, so general emancipation alone does not resolve it.
- Article 2180 was expressly repealed by RA 6809.
- Every parent is automatically liable without any required facts.
- Majority never occurs before 21.
