Answer #3

While laws for emancipation from parents vary state to state, here are some basic requirements and the process:

To be emancipated, you must either:

  1. Be living APART from your parents and managing your own money
  2. Be in the armed forces
  3. Be married
  4. The court must decide that an emancipation is in the best interests of you or your parents

The process of emancipation:

Either you or your parents can start the emancipation process. The person who starts the process files, or has a lawyer file, an “emancipation petition” with the court. If you need a lawyer to start this process or to defend yourself and you cannot afford one, the juvenile court may appoint one for you at no charge.

There will be a meeting (or hearing) in front of a judge to talk about the emancipation petition. Only the judge can order the emancipation.
