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.

Parents have no legal right to take money from the child if he has earned it from working his job or been given it as a gift.
yes they can a restraining order
As long as the child is under the age of 18, the parents can be held liable. In some cases the parents can be relieved of the responsibility if there are indications that they have been trying to get them help.
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.
Legally you can not force your child to give up the custody. They are the guardian of their child and not you, no matter how old they are.
Not in most jurisdictions. Once a they are an adult, their money belongs to them.
not without child's consent..
No, the child's under-age parents are the legal guardians of the child.
parents are in every way responsible for their child and they should always be there if the child is in need of their parent.
In Virginia, parents are legally responsible for their child until the age of 18, unless the child is emancipated or the parents' rights are terminated by a court.
No!
You used the word child. And legally they are a child and the parents decide where they are to live.
In Connecticut, parents are legally responsible for their child until the age of 18, unless the child has been legally emancipated. This means parents are responsible for providing financial support, housing, education, and medical care until the child turns 18.
If a child is illegitimate, it means their parents are not legally married.
They earned more money than their parents.
No, it is not theft. Until the child reaches the age of majority, everything they own belongs to their parents. Technically, the parents can require that any paycheck the minor earns be sent to them.
yes they can a restraining order
In most cases, parents are not legally responsible for their adult children once they move out, unless there are specific obligations outlined in a legal agreement or court order. Once a child reaches the age of majority and moves out, they are generally considered financially independent.
