What legal rights do my parents have over me if I am 18 but still in high school?
-
I live in Wisconsin and just turned 18 recently, but I am curious to know what legal rights my parents still have over me (as long as I am still in school?). They have apparently punished me my confiscating my laptop as a consequence of not participating in chores and social activities enough. Is this a legal action considering that I am a legal adult? Or do they not have to right to do such things?

Answer:
Their roof. Their rules. You're 18, but you are still there. If you want to be treated fully as an adult, move out and live on your own. You want freedom without the responsibility. Grow up.

There are stipulations. You may be of age, but you are still in their household, and this is called parenting. They are still your parents, and they will always have the right to be parents as long as you are in their house.

If you are living in their house they can do what they want. Did you pay for the laptop? They can put you and your laptop out on the street.

You are under their roof, so yes they can still do it. Being 18 doesn't really mean you are grown, and able to do whatever you wish.

They can't do spit to you now that you are 18. But if your counting or dependant on their support, you would be ill advised not to cooperate if they are being reasonable.

If you live under their home they have the right to parent you. You are 18, if you don't like it you have the right to move out. Your choice.
