STATUS OF MINORS AND CHILD SUPPORT (EXCERPT)
Act 293 of 1968
722.4c . . . . (2) The court shall issue an emancipation order if it determines that emancipation is in the best interest of the minor and the minor establishes all of the following: (a) That the minor's parent or guardian does not object to the petition; or if a parent or guardian objects to the petition, that the objecting parent or guardian is not providing the minor with support. (b) That the minor is at least 16 years of age. (c) That the minor is a resident of the state. (d) That the minor has demonstrated the ability to manage his or her financial affairs, including proof of employment or other means of support. “Other means of support†does not include general assistance or aid to families with dependent children administered under the social welfare act, Act No. 280 of the Public Acts of 1939, being sections 400.1 to 400.121 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. (e) That the minor has the ability to manage his or her personal and social affairs, including, but not limited to, proof of housing. (f) That the minor understands his or her rights and responsibilities under this act as an emancipated minor. It releaves your parents of all responsibility for you. It gives you the legal right to contract and to be held accountable as an adult for your actions and liabilities. Given the time it can take to process the request, you'll probably be 18 by the time it gets through the process.

in Texas the age is 16 to file for emancipationAnswerEmancipation laws and the requirements to be emancipated vary from state to state. Many states do not even allow the emancipation of minors.
If the state you live in has an emancipation statute, you have to meet those requirements. Typically they include being able to take care of yourself financially and physically and have parental permission.
When Lincoln was president, the Emancipation Proclamation was to free all of the slaves in the Confederacy. :)
The Emancipation Proclamtion has five pages to it.
The emancipation Proclamation doesn't have feeling.....
The specific requirements for emancipation vary by state, but generally, the states that allow for emancipation of minors are California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, New York, Washington, West Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Montana, Delaware, and Michigan. It's important to note that the laws and procedures for emancipation can differ within each state.
In Michigan, you have to be at least 16 years old in order to petition the court for emancipation. http://www.bostoncoop.net/lcd/emancipation/michigan.html
The parents or guardians can file for emancipation of a minor, the minor may not apply.
really you think some one will answer that!!!!!!
why doesn't wikipedia have the answer to this question?
Yes, a 15 year old cannot be emancipated in the state of Michigan. The minimum age for emancipation in Michigan is 16, and even then, the minor must meet specific criteria and successfully petition the court for emancipation.
Georgia does not have an emancipation statute, which means there really is no process. *** Georgia does have an emancipation statute, but they didn't until a few years ago. You have to file a petition in the juvenile court, and then you have to meet all the requirements, which are many.
She cannot. The minor must be at least 16 to petition for emancipation in the state of Michigan.
No doubt it would be viewed by the judge as a positive, however, you'd still have to meet all the other requirements for emancipation. Check the laws of your specific state for information about the emancipation process/requirements. Be aware that not all states have an emancipation statute.

There are no requirements as you cannot be emancipated in Maryland. They are one of the 15 states without a statute. You will have to wait until you are an adult.
If you live in the US... yes, you still have to go to court, and you have to meet all the requirements for emancipation. I've seen cases where judges have denied it, even when the parents supported it, because the minor did not meet all the requirements.
