How old is this person? Child or adult? 18 year old that still acts like a child? I do believe 18 is the age for most states to consider it legal for them to enter into contracts. Unless you co-sign with the person you are not legally obligated for their finances. Under 18 tho, you are responsible for any damages or financial crap they get into .
The parents of the child, regardless of their ages. And regardless of whether the mother is an adult. see links below
Yes but he would still be responsible for child support unless the child is adopted by another adult willing to take legal responsibility for the child.Yes but he would still be responsible for child support unless the child is adopted by another adult willing to take legal responsibility for the child.Yes but he would still be responsible for child support unless the child is adopted by another adult willing to take legal responsibility for the child.Yes but he would still be responsible for child support unless the child is adopted by another adult willing to take legal responsibility for the child.
at age 18 because that child is considered an adult.
yes, we are financially responsible for our kids until they are 18, in most states, 2 states, I believe it is until they are 19. If they break it we pay for it.Financial responsibility falls on the parents until the kid turns 21 in NY
Yes, if he does not have a rental agreement. He is a legal adult and the parents are no longer legally or financially responsible for his welfare. The law does, however, presume that the adult person needs to be given a reasonable amount of time (no less than 14 days) to find other lodgings and to remove his or her personal belongings. Please be advised, that personal property includes any items, (furniture, appliances, etc.) that were gifted to the person and not just those items that said person purchased themselves.
If your daughter is over 18, she's considered an adult and financially responsible for herself, assuming she's not a full-time student, not living a home and she's not on your insurance policy. The hospital will attempt to collect the debt from her.
Legally, no not at all. They are not financially responsible for you once you turn eighteen. Even if you are under the age of eighteen and decide to have a child it is up to you to provide for your child. They may still be financially "responsible" for you until you are 18 but the way the law sees it they do not have to provide for their grandchildren if you decide to have a child before becoming an adult. They are not financially responsible for anything anymore.
Typically, parents are financially responsible for their children until they reach the age of majority, which is 18 in most places. However, in certain cases, legal guardians or the state may also become financially responsible for the minor if the parents are unable or unwilling to fulfill that responsibility.
An emancipated child - if this is what you are talking about. This is a child who has sought the court's approval to be declared an adult - making this child no longer a ward of his parents. The would no longer be responsible for him financially or in any other way.
YES! Especially if the "adult child" is not financially tied to the parent or still living under their roof. To call someone "below you" is the definition of condescending. Living your life with hierarchies in mind, can only damage one's relationship with their "adult child" as their move from mother/daughter to friends. AND STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET. ANYONE CAN POST!
He is an adult and the court can find you financially responsible if he is in college, not otherwise. In that case you still pay child support and can choose to pay directly to him or his bills. Just go to court and have it modified.
Only if the adult was acting as a legal guardian of the person in question at that time. At age 21, your parents are not normally accountable for anything you do. Was the kid driving the parent's car? If so, the owner of the car is financially responsible.
No, not unless you are a joint debtor/account holder.
It will depend on the specific jurisdiction. In some states they child is not considered an adult until they graduate. If they are considered an adult, you no longer have any obligation.
In Pennsylvania, a 17-year-old mother cannot be legally kicked out of her parents' home without their consent. Parents are legally obligated to provide shelter and support for their minor children. If the situation becomes difficult, it is recommended to seek guidance from a legal professional or social services.
No.
You can get legal custody over him if he is a minor in need of a legal custodian, if you are a responsible adult, and if a court agrees that you are the most suitable person to becustodian. this would be regardless of your living arrangements, as long as they are considered to be suitable for your half-brother.
