https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/unemployed-41-year-old-loses-bid-to-have-parents-pay-him-an-allowance-for-life/ar-AARxneJFaiz Siddiqui, an unemployed 41-year-old man lives rent-free in his parents £1 million apartment in London. The mans parents live in Dubai and have been financially supporting him for 20 years.
After getting fed up with their son, they finally decided to cut him off.
That led Siddiqui to sue his parents for lifelong financial support. Siddiqui claims that he is dependent on his enormously wealthy elderly parents and wants support from them for the rest of his life.
A court rejected Faiz Siddiquis attempts to live off his parents.
Siddiquis claim was rejected after the court took all of Siddiquis constraints into consideration and stated that "Parents should be under no legal duty to support their adult children however grave their need."
Siddiqui has a master's degree in taxation from Brasenose College, a part of the University of Oxford, and is in no way unqualified to make a living. He even worked at reputed law firms after he graduated but has been unemployed since 2011.

Siddiqui claims he is a 'vulnerable' adult.
Siddiqui states that he has some health issues that qualify his parents to support him financially for the rest of his life. However, his parents refuted the claim and stated they were already paying him around £1500 a month and didnt want to do any more than that.
