You sister is an adult, & can take care of herself so just stay focused on your own problems for now.
It seems your mom is very good at looking after her needs, even if it's at the expence of her children.
So that leaves only you to worry about you.
In some states you can be declared an independant minor as early as 16 years of age, but in other places you would have to wait until you are 18.
Now did you say you are married? If you are married, then you have every right to live your life with your husband, independant of your mother, so go ahead, if you are married.

you can not leave home till 18 or married and for your sister she's a ADULT if she chooses to still LIVE WITH HER MOM YES by law your mom can collect rent. If she wants total control of her $ she should move. You are still underage in the eyes of the law if you feel you are abused call children's protection services. It's " not" illegal to take money from a grown child living at home she can not sue her mom for that. It would be to hard to prove your mom took the money wrongly.

Honestly a law suit would do nothing unless you have reciepts of all the money she has taken with dates, and amounts in total but even if you did go to court its your work over hers if you don't have any evidence. Sorry but I think the best thing to do would be to stay in school and go to college because if you don't you may end up at burger king the rest of your life. I don't think it is fair that she takes both your money but you should stay with your mom untill you finish school and then leave. If you don't get a high school degree you will most likely go nowhere with your life. I think if you really want to get back at her then try your best at school, get a good education and move out when you can support yourself with a good job. If you move out when you are 17 then most likely you will struggle to finish high school,if you don't drop out, and probably never go to college. You will struggle to pay the bills all your life and if you do move out the only person you would be hurting is yourself. She may take your money but think about it this way: If you CHOOSE to stay with her untill you don't need her anymore and you CHOOSE to keep yourself stuck that YOU will benefit in the end. I hope I have helped.

It is not right for your mother to steal from your sister. But if your mother is the type who requires her kids to pay her money while they are still living under her roof, then your mother has the right to set her rules as such. But with your sister being 21 and if she's tired of being taken advantage of, then your sister ought to move out and have her own place. Your mother is not going to change, but you and your sister can decide if you still want to live under your mother's roof.
So what is it going to be? Are you two going to stay or are you going to pack up and get the hell away?
Your sister may try suing your mother, but it probably won't stand up in court. And if you're thinking about taking your mother to court then you might as well keep on walking and looking for another place because your mother is not going to stand for being sued by her kids.

Move out and take your sister with you. She should not be treating you mean,it would be proper for her to expect your sister to help pay rent and expenses but she should be glad her daughter is trying to save money and has her own account. If you are married then why are you still living at home- where is your husband?

well if you got married your legally an adult and can make your own decisions. theres nothing your mother can do to stop you. as for your sister she needs to move out asap and stop letting your mother control her life. she probably wont be able to sue her but dont give her another dime. tell her to deposit her money in her own account that way her mom cant touch it and if she does its grounds for pressing charges and suing her. im so sorry you girls have to go through this its very rough but your mom is an adult and should start acting like one. congrats on you getting marred now you need to get out of her house.

She should sue her as long as she has proof. If she does not have proof than she cannot take her to court and win. My mother took me and my sisters money for many years, but we got out before we were eighteen, so I didn't pursue the money issue. Good luck, I know what it is like to have a crazy mother.

If I were u I would sit down and talk to my sister and see if we could get a place together and then if she says yes u both need to leave your mothers house just get out of the abusive situation.

I feel for you,and yes I do think your sister should sue her and call the police on her for child abuse.If you got married your mom cannot keep you in her house.If I were you I would get as far away from your mean and nasty mother as I could.

so your mom provided food and clothing and a house and you want to sue her?
typical, i don't think that your mom was right for taking the money but then again suing her is not a solution either
you all are family, work it out like a family
