In almost all states it is 18 - unless the child petitions to become an emancipated minor sooner than that. Check online with your state's legal code. It will tell you there.

I think it might vary from state to state, but usually "age of emancipation" means the age at which the child is no longer dependent on a parent or guardian for support. Generally eighteen, but could be earlier in some states, or if the child gets legally emancipated earlier.

IIt is different in every state. Here in Texas it is 17 but it can be 16 if the parent agrees to it. You usually have to go before a judge and the child in question has to tell the judge why they want to be emancipated. Depending on the judge, child and reasons for wanting it is what they go by. My neice did it at 16 because she didnt want to live with an abusive step parent and wanted to move to another state to live with other relatives.

except your salary is being garnished by using a baby help organisation you may merely end paying (you may opt to take one extra step otherwise). because that there is the stipulation about "graduating", than in case your baby will be 18 & nevertheless in severe college you should proceed to pay. You pay till he graduates or he turns 19. Please word that when baby help ends, your ex (and/or baby) can ask a decide that you may pay for extra education (college or a specialist guidance). that is fullyyt discretionary on the element of a decide even though it variety of feels to be really difficulty-free. in my opinion i discover it bogus that an human being ought to correctly be forced to pay for yet another ADULTS education. A married couple (who did not divorce) has the alternative to not pay for his or her childs college education, so why is it that a divorced figure should be made to finish that?
