Parental Responsibility Until 18?

What is the parental responsibility for a minor? Our daugther doesn't want to be in our house because we have rules and it is more fun to disobey, stay out all night, get caught shoplifting, driving underage, drinking and just having fun at 17. By law what is the bare minimum we are responsibile to provide her? Shelter, food, basics I woudl imagine but not sure if there is specifics somewhere. We live in VA.:wallbang:

Re: Parental Responsibility Until 18?

Any wrongdoing on her part you are responsible to repay. Example if caught shoplifting and Civil Demand is issued its you not the minor who expected to pay. If your child is that out on control perhaps counseling or even allowing her wrongdoing to land her in jail could help turn things around.

Parental liability for a minor's willful misconduct is ordinarily very limited.

Quote:

Quoting Virginia Code § 8.01-43. Action against parent for damage to public property by minor.

The Commonwealth, acting through the officers having charge of the public property involved, or the governing body of a county, city, town, or other political subdivision, or a school board may institute an action and recover from the parents or either of them of any minor living with such parents or either of them for damages suffered by reason of the willful or malicious destruction of, or damage to, public property by such minor. No more than $2,500 may be recovered from such parents or either of them as a result of any incident or occurrence on which such action is based.

Quoting Virginia Code § 8.01-44. Action against parent for damage to private property by minor.

The owner of any property may institute an action and recover from the parents, or either of them, of any minor living with such parents, or either of them, for damages suffered by reason of the willful or malicious destruction of, or damage to, such property by such minor. No more than $2,500 may be recovered from such parents, or either of them, as a result of any incident or occurrence on which such action is based. Any recovery from the parent or parents of such minor shall not preclude full recovery from such minor except to the amount of the recovery from such parent or parents. The provisions of this statute shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other law imposing upon a parent liability for the acts of his minor child.
