Legal Question in Family Law in California

Child's earnings

I make roughly $300 every 2 weeks or so. My parents are unhappy with the way I have been spending money and now without warning have decided that they are going to take my paychecks and deposit them in a bank account and give me $25 a week to spend. Also they said they may even decide to start to take from that what I cost them in clothes and food and stuff. Do I have any right to that money they are taking. Also can I make a case on emancipation based on verbal abuse not threats but constant put downs making me feel worthless and low. Thank you.

Re: Child's earnings

your parents may take your money. how are you going to support yourself on $600/mo? You could earn their respect by coming up with a budget that includes room and food going to them while you pay for your clothing and transportation. Verbal abuse is best ignored, you're not 5.
