The answer

The rulings concerning child support vary according to their circumstances. If they are wealthy, their support is not obligatory. However, if they are poor and not yet adult, their support is obligatory by scholarly consensus. If they are adult, poor, and have no earnings, the preponderant opinion is that their support is obligatory, for both males and females, regardless of the mother's wealth or her new husband's financial status, as long as the father is able to provide support.
