[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 675266, member: 18958"] If you are interested in exploring emancipation you may find out more if you google Nolo press/emancipation of minors. Below are snippets. Emancipation is obtained by going to court. Other ways to emancipate would be getting married or joining the military. A minor who is "emancipated" assumes most adult responsibilities before reaching the age of majority (usually 18). Emancipated minors are no longer considered to be under the care and control of parents -- instead, they take responsibility for their own care. [SIZE=4][B]What Is Emancipation?[/B][/SIZE] Usually, parents or legal guardians are responsible for children who haven't reached the age of majority. This age varies from state to state, but it's usually 18 or 19 (it's 21 in Puerto Rico). Until a child has reached the age of majority, parents are expected to provide them with shelter, food, and clothing. Parents can also decide where their children will live and go to school and can choose what medical care their children will receive. If a young person under the age of majority is emancipated, the parent or guardian no longer has any say over the minor's life. An emancipated minor can keep earnings from a job, decide where to live, make his or her own medical decisions, and more. COPA [/QUOTE]
