To sign a passport for a minor, the parent or legal guardian should write their signature in the designated space on the minor's passport. The parent or guardian should also include the phrase "parent of the child" or "guardian of the child" next to their signature. This signature signifies consent and authorization for the minor to travel internationally.
Yes, she is the guardian of the child.
No, the minor parent is.
If they are old enough to write and understand what they are doing, they can sign their own return. If not, the parent should sign the parent's name and write underneath it "as parent of minor child."

Yes a parent can be held responsible for a minor child's debt if the parent co-signs on a loan with the child. For credit cards, if the child is an authorized user on a parent's account the parent is also responsible for this debt.
If a child is emancipated, the parent or guardian no longer has any say over the minor's life.
No. The minor has the same needs as before which the parents have to pay for. The minor and the father of her child will have to pay for their own child.
10. In Michigan, a minor child (under 18 years of age) is legally defined as a possession of a parent(s). A minor child (a “possession”) cannot own possessions; therefore, any gift to the minor child, something a minor bought with personal money, or wages earned by the minor child are legally the possessions of the parent. A 17 year old who has left home against the parents’ wishes and refuses to return home has no legal right to any possessions in the parent’s home. 11. Parents control whether a minor child has a driver’s license until the age of 18 years. A parent can at any time revoke a minor child’s driving privileges. The parent will need to write a letter to the Secretary of State which indicates the minor child no longer has the parent’s permission to have a driver’s license.
