The child did not iniciate the emancipation the parents did.
Especially if the child is not currently employed and the questions of a living arrangement and income are still unanswered.

In the State of Florida I don't believe that a child is able to iniate an emancipation, that's what I've gathered from research so far.

A petition must be filed by the parents, legal guardians, or by a guardian ad litem.

I think that is referred to as throwing your child to the dogs. I don't know if parents have a right to give up custody of their kids to the state because they are gay. Perhaps they could find a good family for their gay child and adopt him out.
I've only heard of parents ridding themselves of dangerous and unruly children with the help of the state but even that may be incorrect.

I highly doubt that a parent could succeed in having their child emancipated for being gay. Even if they could, the courts clearly require that "The petition must show the judge that the minor is independent and able to support himself and his child, if he is parenting. He must either be supporting himself or have a specific plan. He can not be dependent on public benefits."

Involuntary emancipation is not "emancipation," it is abandonment. Neither in Fla. or anywhere else can parents legally abandon their children. Fla. law permits parents to petition the state juvenile court to take custody of an uncontrollable child. "Being gay," does not qualify as uncontrollable.

Parents cannot emancipate anyone. A child can emancipate themselves with either the consent of the parents, or the approval of the courts.

With the loopy international at our throats about our sexuality, it type of feels basically about no longer attainable to be who you truly are contained in the international, yet i wish you'll supply your self a touch more desirable time because you're surely 16. yet i wish you're satisfied. when you're satisfied than you may want to do although you want to do and convinced i imagine you'd be legally emancipated. wish you'll make the right determination!

Oh mojak genius, you have brought out a pretty complicated legal question for brainstorming the Justices in the Supreme Court! I suggest you send in a note to the White House too!
Just out of curiosity, are you anyway affected by it?

Depends on their age
if the child is under 21 no they cant, but after that all is fair in the legal court system

Am I Reading this correctly they want to essentially get rid of their child because they're GAY? How cruel! Although ideally it's not the lifestyle most parents would want for their child, who could you just want to get rid of them? I don't think legally it can be done anyway. I feel so bad for the kid. I pray he doesn't know they feel this way.

I don't think that parents can legally emancipate a child.
