I have a few questions about my parents. I'm 20 years old,engaged and we have a 7 month old baby. I live with my parents.What are my rights living in my parents house if I don't pay rent? I have asthma and I'm not working at this time,are my parents still responable for my medication? And does my parents have the right to tell me how to raise my son?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

you need to get yourself a job.

your parents are not responsible for your health. that's YOUR responsibility now.

your parents are NOT responsible for your baby. that's YOUR responsibility now.

you have the right to find employment and move out.

You are an adult and are responsible for your own medical care and decisions raising your child.

fyi, I lived with my parents for a long time since i was a single mom too, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET A JOB AND GET YOUR OWN PLACE!

i say this b/c i am in the middle of a custody battle with my OWN MOTHER. she has decided to sue me for custody of my child b/c she feels entitled to her since we lived together for so long and she helped me to take care of her for etc, i got married and we've gone our separate ways, she doesnt like my husband, its a whole mess.

when i finally put my foot down on grandma to just be grandma and told her stop trying to raise my child for me, its not her responsibility, she decides to take me to court to take MY OWN CHILD FROM ME.

I know the thought of being on your own is scary especially with a young one, but women do it every day, no it isnt easy, but there are resources out there and things you can look into.

Take the advice a lawyer gave me-NEVER rely on family to help you with your children, you're better off paying someone to watch your children b/c at least you know they are working FOR YOU. Go to social services in your area, ask them about assistance with finding a job, affordable day care etc. If you need help, I will be more than happy to research info for you to point you in the right direction.

Granted family should be there for each other and should be able to trust them, but the real world doesnt work that way. Dont get trapped in the mistake i made and got comfortable relying on my family while i was single to help me take care of my daughter. It will come back to bite you in the ass at some point.

Sooooo....you want the authority to raise your own child without their interference yet still have them be financially responsible for you? At 20 I hope you can see the ridiculousness there....

No, beause you are a legal adult you parents are not responsible to pay for your medications.
They also have no legal obligation to pay for:
Your food, your clothes, your medical bills, your car, your gas, your insurance, any other needs you have, etc.
They also have no legal obligation to allow you to live with them.
They also have no legal obligation to provide anything for your child.

Legally, no they cannot "tell" you how to raise your child. However, realistically, since you are living with them, they have the right to say anything they wish to you, but you do not have to do what they say, you always have the right to move out.

I agree with the others, you really should look for a job and begin making plans to move out ASAP.
