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.

If same-sex and interracial marriage rights themes weren't legally similar, arguments and findings in modern same-sex marriage situations does not reference previous situations from interracial situations (see CA very best court docket decision of 2008). In that exact same vein, same-sex marriage is unlikely to become legal in all fifty states till the federal authorities says so. It took Loving v. State of Virginia in the front of the very best court docket for interracial marriage rights. i imagine it ought to take a similar case now.
