Her parents had quite a lengthy court battle to end their unofficial union. Quinn Culkin’s mother accused her father of being an absent dad who was an alcoholic, physically abusive, and unfaithful in their relationship. Their court case lingered on for about two years, and this was mainly because Macaulay’s trust fund was estimated at around $20 was involved.

According to reports, she worked as a writer in the industry and encouraged Quinn’s father, Kit Culkin, to pursue a career in acting.
