Might/be allowed to

Hi,
I've got some questions connected with modal verbs.

1) If it is possible that sb is having an argument now, should I say:
He might have an argument now. or He might be having an argumet now. (?)

2) If it is possible that sb lives (permanently) in a beautiful palace, should I say:
She might live in a beautiful palace. or She might be living in a beautiful palace. (?)

3) If I know that my parents will not allow me to stay out late tomorrow, can I say:
I won't be allowed to stay out late tomorrow. (?)
