No, but it helps.
With emancipation, the decision is up to the courts, based on a set of factors defined by applicable state law. The most common is that the minor is mature enough to make decisions on their own behalf.
Having the parents support the decision makes the court more willing to accept the minor is ready to be emancipated.

It might shorten the legal process. This legal option is commonly used to assist teens who have been made wards of the state. Therefore, a parental consent is usually not necessary. The state emancipates these minors to help them acquire assistance programs for housing, education and a number of other programs that might not be available to help them exit from state institutions like group homes because they are minors.

No, you just have to prove that you can take care of yourself without anybody's assitance. Like hold down a job, pay all your bills, ect.

if you want to become an emancipated minor, you need to go before a judge and have a hearing.

heh...no.
The whole idea behind becoming emancipated is to be considered a legal adult, not requiring any input from the parents.
