Yes.
Nope. Parents are no longer responsible for the financial well being of their children after the eighteenth birthday.
Yes, I believe this is the case across the U.S., except possibly Texas. Apparently in Texas the police will not force 17-year-olds to return to their parents. Another option is to get legally emancipated by a court.
Yes it is.
Technically no but that would be very sorry if they didn't.
The 18 year old is considered an adult. Nobody can have physical or legal custody of her.
In Georgia, parents are legally responsible for their child until they reach the age of 18, regardless of whether the child moves out of the home before turning 18. This means that parents are still responsible for providing financial support, supervision, and guidance to their child until they reach the age of majority.
The parents are no longer responsible once the child reaches the age of 18 in Maryland, regardless of where they live.
If a child is legally emancipated by the court, then the parents are no longer responsible for the child. On the other hand, if the parents simply give the child permission to move out...then that's a different matter entirely.
No, you are not.
First of all, she isn't legally allowed to leave without parental permission. She can be classified as a runaway. And parents are financially responsible for them until they reach the age of majority or are emancipated.
Not without her parents giving legal custody to an acceptable caregiver adult. In most cases when a minor moves into a relative's home with the permission of his or her parents authorities will not intervene. Missouri does not have emancipation status.
Yes, the parents would still be responsible for her until she reaches the age 18.
The parents are not responsible for an adult. If the parents co-signed the loan, they can be held responsible.
IF the girl is not married, parents are responsible for her until she turns 18; No matter where she lives, unless she has been emancipated.
Parents are responsible financially for a 17 year old in Michigan who voluntarily moves out of the house unless the teen is completely emancipated. Teens can be partially emancipated, which means parents can still be responsible for certain things.
In Pennsylvania, parents are not legally required to support their child after they turn 18, as this age marks adulthood. Parents may still have responsibilities if a court order or agreement stipulates otherwise, or if the child has special needs. However, generally speaking, an 18-year-old who moves out of the family home is considered emancipated and responsible for their own welfare.
Her welfare, including shelter, clothing, food and medical care.
