TalThe Facts About Emancipation
What is "emancipation"?
Emancipation allows youth to be freed from the custody and control of their parents and to have many of the rights and responsibilities of an adult.

How do I get emancipated?
There are three ways a minor may become emancipated:

1) get married;
2) join the military; or
3) go to court and have the judge declare you emancipated.
Do I need my parents' consent to get emancipated?
Generally, yes. Minors, whether emancipated already or not, need parental consent and a judge's consent to get married. Likewise, a minor needs parental consent to join the military. To be emancipated by a judge, a minor must give his/her parent(s) notice of the court hearing, and the parent(s) may go to court to contest the emancipation.

What are the requirements for a judicial declaration of emancipation?
You must be at least fourteen years old.
You must be living apart from your parents with their consent or acquiescence.
You must be managing your finances and have a legal source of income.
The judge must find that emancipation is in your best interests.
The judge also wants to see that you are in school or have a GED.
What are the new rights that I get if I become emancipated?
Live where you choose.
Sign binding contracts.
Bring a law suit.
Keep your own earnings.
Get a work permit without parental consent.
Enroll yourself in school.
Consent to your own medical, dental, and psychiatric care.
Stay out as late as you want.
What are the new responsibilities I will have if I get emancipated?
Support yourself financially.
Get your own medical insurance.
Pay all of your own bills.
What things won't change when I get emancipated?
You must go to school until you graduate or turn eighteen.
You cannot work as many hours as you want — child labor laws and work permit rules must be followed.
You cannot get married without the consent of your parents.
You cannot have sex — statutory rape laws make it illegal for anyone to have sex with a minor (the only time a minor can have legal sex is if s/he is married and s/he has sex with his/her spouse).
You could be tried as an adult, in certain cases, if you commit a crime.
You cannot drink alcohol until you turn twenty-one.
You cannot vote until you turn eighteen.
Can my parents get me emancipated?
No. Emancipation is meant to be a positive step for a minor, not a way for parents to get out of their parental responsibilities.

Once I get emancipated, is it forever?
Not always. If you were emancipated through marriage you will still be emancipated even if you later divorce. However, the District Attorney's office may petition to have any minor's emancipation taken away if your main source of income is welfare. It is possible for the judge to take away your emancipation if you are not able to support yourself without public benefits. If the emancipation is taken away, the District Attorney may try to make your parents pay back the welfare money that was paid to you while you were emancipated.
