If you are talking about "emancipation" as in, the kid is disconnected from her parents and the parents are no longer responsible for her expenses? Some people are interested in this because when you go to college, your parents income is considered when the college decides whether you should get a "need" scholarship. What if the parents refuse to help the student pay tuition. Then the student is in a tough spot. But the student can be legally separated from the parents. Obviously this is a plan that a lot of kids would try out, to weasel out of paying their tuition. The colleges are wise to that and will look at any claims of emancipation very skeptically.
So, that question should be answered by a lawyer because it has a lot of legal and financial implications. Like, if the kid is emancipated, the parents can no longer claim income tax credits for a dependent, or the kid can no longer be carried on the mom's health insurance, car insurance, etc.

I believe you go in front of the judge. I would think there is paper work to fill out. Ask the county clerk if she is really wanting to do this.....
On another note, sometimes I feel like emancipating my kids too! Specially on food shopping day! These kids are gong to be shocked when they move out of the house and want to eat like this and have to pay the bill lol!

I was emancipated when I was 17, I hired a lawyer, a child advocacy lawyer myself and had myself emancipated, well actually, I guess I did not actually hire her, she vountarily represented me. Oh yeah, I got the medical card and all living expenses paid for me byt eh state as long as I remained in school and maintained a C average.

She doesn't really mean that, I hope. There was just a Dr. Phil show with that topic today. This household had no peace. It was just as much the parent's fault as the teenagers...The courts did not let this lady divorce her kid, they said he was too old (17). Just meet half way! Good Luck!! HI MOM!!!
