I live in Illinois.
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. If not, I apologize.
Anyway, I as wondering what rights a minor in the state of Illinois has in regards to parental disputes.
More specifically, I'm wondering about property rights. I am 17. I have a job and have had it for almost two years, making my own money. They say they can do whatever they want with my money and any property I consider mine. I've boughten some valuables (to me) with the money I've earned (a laptop, for example) and I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to prevent them from prohibiting my use of it, physically taking it from me, and temporarily giving it to a friend/relative to keep until they say. That sort of thing.
Moreover, is there anything else I can do, as a minor of 17 in Illinois, to reinforce my ownership (and use) of "my" own property short of being emancipate?
Thanks,
