My parents divorced when I was very young, my mother went abroad, and my father also started a new family. I was raised by my grandma, and I see my parents once every few years.

I don’t know how to judge foreign laws, because the Roman Empire adopted an adoptive inheritance system. In the same period, the Han Dynasty followed patriarchal ethics, which can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty at the latest...

In principle, the laws of our country and even the Greater China region encourage parties to support themselves. The legal basis is that the elders’ right to be supported is based on "birth", Derived from the half-and-half principle of "raising". As long as the party's possible dependent person actually fulfills the support obligation, or there is a blood relationship, the party can be asked to perform the support obligation.

Of course, courts generally do not resolve such family disputes simply and crudely through public hearings. Such principled provisions are clearly stated in many places in the laws of the People's Republic of China, and judges of the People's Court are not encouraged to resolve "family disputes." Some less serious crimes can even be "hidden from each other".

Japan, at least in terms of legal provisions, has retained a longer traditional custom of "hiding relatives from each other"...Other Western countries mostly use privacy rights and do not conduct public trials, but judges and godfathers (Islam is imams) patiently follow the instructions~
