She couldn't. At least not openly or within the boundaries of state laws. In rare cases Family Court hears cases of a minor wanting to be emancipated. And even rarer cases grants the petition. How exactly could a 16 year old with a child survive? How would she finish her education (or would she). Support herself and her child? Even if those issues (and many others) were surmountable. The court simply would not allow a minor, take custody of a baby and attempt living on their own.

In Florida can parents be held responsible for 18 year old living on their own?

Criminally, no. An adult, whether they're living with their parents or not, is fully responsible for them self. The eighteen-year-old, and he alone, can and will be held responsible for their own actions. In civil matters, it may depend on the circumstance. If the parent co-signed on any kind of loan or payment for the eighteen-year-old, and the eighteen-year-old does not keep up with the payments, the cosigner can be held responsible for those payments.

Can a parent go into an 18 year olds room?

If the 18 year old is living in his own house, which he owns, perhaps not. If the 18 yr-old is living in his parent's house, yup. If the 18 year old wants privacy in his room, he needs to get out of his parents' house and buy his own house or get an apartment. That is the way the 18 year old gets a key to a door that his or her parents can't unlock. In short, if you want to be treated like a grown up, you have to be one. Just this question is evidence that the growing up has not yet happened. a mom (living with an 18 year old who has grown up enough to know the answer to this question) If this question is a legal question, the answer is still the same: Yes, a parent can go in!
