摘　　要：美国子女赡养立法历史悠久,其立法结构较为完整,赡养诉讼主体资格范围较广,且有一套完善的法律救济机制,但由于联邦制度的局限性,各州赡养立法之间存在较大的差异性,一定程度上加大了法律实施的成本,加之美国政府及州政府对老年人的各种资金补助计划的实施,这些因素妨碍了赡养立法作用的发挥。然而,美国子女赡养法中某些制度设计,对我国赡养立法的完善还是具有可资借鉴的地方,我国立法可以在扩大赡养诉讼主体资格范围、完善法律援助机制以及加大对于不尽赡养义务的子女的法律惩戒力度等方面进行改革与创新。Filial support legislation in the USA has a long history.
