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.

If the minor resides in a state where emancipation is allowed, he or she may file a petition for emancipation rights, the judge will decide if emancipation should be granted. The major requirement for emancipation is that the minor be gainfully employed with enough income to provide for all their needs. Once a minor has been emancipated they are are financially responsible for their own welfare and their parents have no obligation to support them in any way. That means the parents would not be responsible for paying any of the minor child's bills regardless of what they might be. The minor will also be required to pay all legal costs and court fees that relate to the emancipation action, regardless of whether or not an emancipation decree is granted.
It is all based on the parents decision on how much money they think. Nevr ask for money. Let them offer and then you decide based on their option.
If the parents have paid for the wedding and reception and the wedding is canceled and the bride does not have the funds to pay her parents back for the expense then unfortunately the parents are stuck with the bill. If the bride can afford it then yes, she should offer to pay it back. The parents may decide not to take the money or they may be happy to receive it. If the parents gave the bride and groom money before the wedding to put towards a honeymoon; towards a house, etc., then yes, the check or money should be given back to the parents.
parents suck and if they ask you did you have fun just say no
