LEGAL. Clearly, this isn't a metaphor.
In truth, there are no limits, as the legal system is as capricious as those who are intended/expected to support it.
Justice is an ideal seldom truly served. The generalization, "Limits of Legal Obligation" couldn't possibly be answered.

I'm not sure if you are asking whether it's in a court order or just one of the legal obligations that people take for granted.
For instance, we know we are legally obligated to drive within the speed limit or we could suffer the consequences, a ticket or fine. Or a parent is legally obligated to care for his or her child under all states' laws.
There are court orders that clearly define a person's legal obligation. For instance, I may be given custody of my niece. I am at that point legally obligated to give her proper shelter, education and nourishment and can be held accountable for failing this obligation. The limits of this obligation would be anything that is not clearly defined in the court order. Let's say the court order omitted health care. Well, in that case I could fight to say that I wasn't obligated to provide it for her. However, I still know that I couldn't just let her have an lief-threatening injury without treatment.

Legal obligation of what? The limits are dependent upon the circumstances -- marriage obligations, child support obligations, and Lawyer's obligations to clients all have different limits and functions.

That is a very generalised question; however, anything that is covered by law, be it local, county, state or federal. has definitions of what is covered by each particular law. Ergo, the limits of legal obligation. ie: if you want to sue someone for injuries sustained in an accident, your local laws will define the time limit, as well as many other limits. If you are asking because of a problem, I suggest you speak to an attorney because you will need one to proceed with a suit.

That which based on limited human perceptions cannot be unlimited. Ultimate limit is society itself, a creator of legal obligations and many other nonsenses. Interesting paradox, being within nonsense gives a perspective of common sense.No escape or serve it or rebel against.Being rebellious only confirm that Legal Obligation is true...Being out of nonsense giving you a common sense of your own Being as a Truth....anything else is a funny apparitions which is not true.

The making of the laws is no problem it is the economical and political and social complications of implementing them that really limits what we let them get away with.
This obligation implies that it will not strictly be enforced. But there many be penalties if someone gets hurt and feels you are at fault through action inaction or what ever and they feel really righteous in prosecuting.

It would be limited to the terms and conditions set forth in the contract.
There would be no extrapolation or interpretation.

this general question cannot be answered except you ask an expert lawyer.
