Legal Question


I'm 16, so if I make money by having a job, does the money belong to me or my parents?

Legal Answer


Tough question. Technically it belongs to you. As a minor you can't create enforceable contracts. However, some parents charge their children rent, etc. when they have the capability of generating income. You should talk to your school counselor about the fairness of your particular situation.
