    Default Legal Liability for a Minor Not Living At Home

    Hi,
    I live in Colorado, and my son will be 18 in January of 2008. He couldn't stand living at home with 'rules' and so after making life miserable for the rest of us, I allowed him to move in with his friends family.
    Am I still legally liable for him? i.e. if they lend him their car, and he gets into an accident and gets sued, can they still come after me? Can I do anything if so? Thanks.

    Burt

    Liable in what sense? You're no more liable for his every action when he's staying somewhere else than you are when he's at home, and likely less liable when it comes to "negligent supervision". If he's on probation or engaged in acts of delinquency, there can be legal consequences for your failure to properly supervise him.
