What is the legal definition of age of majority in the state of Wisconsin and what rights come with it?
Bob G asked:
Our son, who is a high school senior, turned 18 and wonders what freedoms come with it. We live in Wisconsin. With those freedoms, we are wondering if parents are relieved of any legal responsibility for his actions.

I did a search for age of majority Wisconsin.
I found many sites. It looks like it depends upon school attendance as well as age. The other factor is the commission of a crime. I think it would be in your son’s best interest not to test the limits of society. He has many freedoms. Hopefully that doesn’t mean he’ll choose to act in a manner that is unnecessarily hazardous.
Lets see, your son is 18 and lives with you because he’s still in high school. He can vote, join the army and go to Iraq. If he commits a crime he can be sentenced to the big house.
You’re pretty much relieved of most responsibilities as a parent.
