I am 19 Living in a dorm at college my parents pay for everything Are they legally liable for my actions or can they get sued for something i do?

The question is much too broad to be answered specifically. However - if you are still legally a minor, possibly, your parents might be be held liable for civil damages, but they would not be held responsible for your criminal activities. If you are considered to be legally an adult in your state, it is only YOU that would be responsible for your actions.

Are you still responsible for a debt if your parents assume responsibility for that debt?

Minors cannot legally contract for a debt. Only their parents/guardians can assume that responsibility. So, your parents ARE responsible. On the other hand, if you are legally an adult and contract for debt - and your parents 'assume' responsibility for it -there would have to be legally binding paperwork naming them as the debtors in lieu. Simply giving their word is not sufficient, and you would remain responsible.

Are parents legally responsible for 18 year old child who is living out of their home?

It depends on the situation and the state you live in. The easiest answer is: You are responsible for anyone if anything occures on your property. As far as being legally resposible as far a school or something of the sort goes, you are responsible only if that child lives in your home. And if it has to do with school, and you are recieveing fines for the child, you need to contact you local police department and inform them of the child's status (that they are not living at home) To sum it all up, NO you are not legally resposible for that child, unless court ordered otherwise. I hope that is what you are looking for...maybe try to be a little more specific.
