I can see why he's getting [i]frustrated[/i] over it, but I don't think it [i]broke[/i] any laws... Plus he's in his 20s already, shouldn't he have some responsibility in paying the bills anyway? I know my parents will expect me to pay when I can... And it's sometime soon too. Taking issues like this into court tend to not go well anyway, since it's obvious that the parents is going to win (unless otherwise strongly supported by strong evidence).
