A parent can sue a defendant for tortious interference with the services owed by an emancipated child to his or her parent (loss of services).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emancipated children are considered legally independent from their parents, and thus any services they might have provided are no longer obligations owed to the parent. Therefore, a parent cannot sue for tortious interference in this context because the legal basis for such a claim (the obligation of services) does not exist.
