A Spanish court has just awarded 25 year-old student son a quarter of his father's disability pension. Apparently this is not an isolated case; Spanish law requires parents to feed and house their children whilst they (the children) are not financially independent. Only under extreme circumstances can the parents avoid this. Imagine if this was the law over here, the Mail and the Express would be frothing at the mouth.
