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 .

Legally, no not at all. They are not financially responsible for you once you turn eighteen.

They are not financially responsible for anything anymore.
