If someone has over six years of fasts that he was negligent about due to not being on the right path, but is on the right path now, how does he make up those fasts? Is there Kaffarah for deliberately not fasting, or is it just Qadha?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is a Qadha' and Kaffara for every day of missed fasting of the Month of Ramadhan. The Kaffara is either fasting two consequent months or feeding sixty poor believers.

Qadha must be done as soon as possible.

If a person is financially dependent, and cannot feed 60 poor people, can he pray for forgiveness only if he doesn't want to keep the 60 fasts as part of the Kaffarah due on him?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Kaffara is obligatory when the person deliberately committed the sinful act of not fasting during the month of Ramadhan. If his health does not allow him to fast, and he has no money to feed sixty poor persons, then he should feed the number of poor persons which he can, and recite Estighfaar.

What is the Kaffara for misbehaving with parents and breaking their heart?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Misbehaving with parents is one of the most dangerous major sins. Major sins leads to hellfire unless you leave it and decide not to do it again and compensate it. 

There is no specific Kaffara for such major sin, but to make yur parents happy with you by doing good to them till they pardon you and be happy with you from their heart not just by tongue.

Such major sin is very dangerous in this life as wel as hereafter, so, you need to do everything possible to make your parents happy enough to forgive you and pray fro your forgiveness.

No way to avoid the wrath and curse but to gain the happiness of your parents with you.

Wassalam.
