Parental responsibility means that as a parent or guardian, you are legally accountable for the welfare and actions of your underage children. This includes any legal mishaps, such as being caught for DUI. The idea is that parents should ensure their children are taught to obey the law. But sometimes, things don't go as planned, and that's where we can step in and help you navigate the stormy waters.

Even if you feel you've done everything right, the law may still see you as responsible for your child's actions. This can lead to fines, liability for damages, or even having to partake in mandatory education programs with your child. Knowing this beforehand might seem daunting, but knowledge is power, and we're here to empower you.

When it comes to legal liabilities, things can get tricky. Depending on where you live, you might be facing various consequences if your child is charged with a DUI.
