The scenario is you are still seeking for a job that you wanted but it takes time. However your parents forced you to work with their family business instead of searching for a job because they assume that you are already hopeless and no company that will accept you. Worst case scenario aside from the fact that you don't like the work pace your parents are not treating you well in the workplace, that is another reason why you don't like to work with them. They told you that you must do that because they are charging you for the obligations they have done to you before. Aside from that they might not give you the salary that you deserve.
Is there any law to file against parents when they are forcing their child to work on family business even in the legal age or even at age of 25 years and above?

I think there's not such a law,but if you insist not to work in family business will they still force you? Maybe the best way is to prove your ability to your parents that you can do better than they thought.

Hello Metratonik, keep that question in mind.Because you might as well try to ask that with the Senatorial candidates this coming Next years election. it's a perfect question to those politicians to see if they can make a law out of it.
BETTER KEEP THE QUESTION FOR REFERENCE when asking a candidate through social media

I don't think there is a law against parents forcing their child to work on a family business. But if I were put on that situation, with the way that I am, (I am just the quiet type of person), I might just try learn to do the job and give my best efforts.

Run out which I did. This besides of the fact that parents can not force their adult child to work in their company. If an adult kid stays it is his/her own decision. You can always leave and build your own life. There is a price for everything so this might mean they don't like to be in touch with you anymore. This happened to me and still after all these years I don't regret I left. BTW if you think you deserve a better salary you should go somewhere else and go for that salary. It's your life after all and if you don't have the courage to go for your own goals you should not complain either or blame your parents for making you stay. The obligations they have done for you.. your parents put you in this world so it's normal they have to raise you, educate you, pay for you. If they are not willing to do so they should not have started with kids in the first place!
