no, they are responsible for themselves at age 18 Depends on what state your in. Some is 18 for both boy and girl. Others its 18 or 21 for one or the other. You would have to check with the Dept. of Family Services, as far as financially. If they live under your roof and they do something illegal, you know how people are, they will come after you if their lawyer is hungry enough. If they drive your car, definately.

∙ 9y agoIn almost every US state, the age of majority is 18. This means a person who reaches that age is an adult and is fully responsible for themselves. The parents are no longer liable for any of their actions. The states with an exception are Alabama and Nebraska which are age 19 and Mississippi which is age 21.

∙ 14y agoNo. Once the child turns 18, in the eyes of the law they are no longer a child but a legal adult and therfore responsible for themselves. They can make all decisions for themselves and do not have to consult their parents before doing so. However, the parent is not held responsible for ANY of those decisions. On a side note- In Georgia (possibly a few other states) there are still laws on the books allowing a child to move out at 17. In fact there is no legal way for the parent to make the child do anything once they turn 17. BUT because the child is still 17 the parents are held responsible for everything the child does. I know. Stupid law. But there it is.

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.
