The case in question is a young woman who works and is 17. She no longer lives w/ her parents but with family but wants to move out of there and into her own place. With her job she makes enough to support herself and is mental and emotional capable of handling herself as an adult.

While it varies from state to state, the general rule of thumb is, prove to a judge that the person is responsible enough to be an adult, and have reason. If the judged is persuaded, then violia! You're emancipated. If not, wait a year, then you will be anyway.

you would need to get a court order. there has to be a reason why she would not benefit from being with the family. pretty much, it's a divorce from your family. I have had a friend get emancipated but it was because her mother died and she had to take on the responsibility of being a woman. tell her to find legal information about because she would need to go before a judge for the procedure.

I believe that the person has to be at least 16 years old and able to take care of themselves. They have to go to court and prove this to a judge and the judge will decide if they can be emmancipated.

go to the court house both parents and the "child" and tell the clerk she will make you swear under oath and sign a paper that's it...It cost a little like $35.oo I think

look up emancipated minor on the web, and make sure you have the correct information for the state you live in.

What is her main concern? Does she (you?) want to claim herself on her taxes, or what? Sounds like she's pretty emancipated right now to me.
