It may be possible for you. The laws vary and many states do not have emancipation statutes. Those that do require the minor to be at least 16. California allows someone as young as 12 to be emancipated, but they have to be able to support themselves.

Laws regarding emancipation vary by state, but in some states, minors can petition for emancipation at age 16. Emancipation is a legal process in which a minor is granted the rights and responsibilities of an adult before turning 18. The minor must demonstrate they are financially self-sufficient and capable of making their own decisions to be granted emancipation. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance on the specific laws in your state.

That will depend on the circumstances. The parents are going to be responsible for them until they are an adult. That will be in NJ. They might be able to put them into the foster care system.
