405.010 Parents entitled to services and earnings of child -- Suit for loss of.
The father and mother of a child under the age of eighteen are equally entitled to its
services and earnings. If one of the parents is dead, or has abandoned the child, or been
deprived of its custody by court decree, the other is entitled to its services and earnings.
The parents jointly may maintain an action for loss of the services or earnings of their
child under the age of eighteen when the loss is occasioned by an injury wrongfully or
negligently inflicted upon the child. But if either the father or mother is dead, or has
abandoned the child, or has been deprived of its custody by court decree, or refuses to
sue, the other may sue alone. This section shall not affect the existing law relating to
workers' compensation and industrial accidents.
