Are we as parents responsible for the fines our 19 year old son has?


Questioner

My 19 year old son lives on his own and is making a mess of things at the moment. Doesn't have a job, but still buys clothes via Afterpay or Klarna. In addition, he has a number of different fines with a value of almost 1000 euros. The first must be paid by June 1, otherwise there will be 50% costs. To what extent can these costs be recovered from us? Both for unpaid clothing and items as well as for traffic fines? We pay the rent, gas, water and electricity for him. Thank you in advance for your answer

No, because your son is of legal age and has assets of his own.
