your parents have no right over you once you turn 18 you can do as you please but they do have the right to there own belongings and the money your depending on is there's and they can cut you off financially by not giving you any money for going against there wishes. you should be able to apply for food stamps and other financial help in the city's food stamp office in which your friend lives. Depending on the total gross house income (before taxes) will determine if you qualify for any assistance. assistance is availabe for food, electricity, rent, and even daycare cost.

∙ 14y agoThe duty to provide support for a minor child shall continue until the child reaches the age of majority, dies, marries, or becomes emancipated, whichever first occurs. However, the court has discretion to direct either or both parents to provide financial assistance to a child who has not previously married or become emancipated, who is enrolled in and attending a secondary school, and who has attained the age of majority before completing his or her secondary school education, provided that such financial assistance shall not be required after a child attains 20 years of age.
The question here is if the child has moved out, and has reached the age of majority, can that be interpreted as emancipated?

Is the non-custodial parent responsible for their child's behavior?
Whether you are responsible for school fees or not depends upon the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside. I can give you some general guidelines, however it is important to check with a local attorney regarding the rules of your particular jurisdiction. Generally both parents are responsible for mandatory school fees. They are not responsible for school fees which are optional unless both parents agree to incur the cost. For example, if a child is attending public school and one parent decides they wish to enroll the child in private school with high tuition, generally the parent who does not consent to the private school will not be responsible for the fees since there is a public school alternative. However, if the children have always attended private school and the court determines that the parents can afford it, the court could order a non-custodial parent to pay part or all of the fees so that the children's schooling is not disrupted. Your best protection is to have a detailed parenting plan incorporated into your custody orders which defines and addresses payment of mandatory and optional school fees.
Are Parents legal responsibility for college education?
If the child is still living in their parents house - yes. If the child is living in their own place - no. Whilst the child is living with their parents - the parents are legally responsible for the child's education costs. A college education is not a mandatory parental responsibility like room and board and primary and secondary (high school) education. Therefore parents are not legally required to sponsor a child's college education. Parents are legally responsible for college education costs only if they were involved in the college enrollment and signed forms committing themselves to be responsible for the college tuition and other costs.
