Yes, but it is not automatic, but rather must be granted by a judge after he or she reviews the case. A big myth is that emancipation is some sort of legalized "running away," but this is not true.

In Maryland, minors themselves cannot initiate the emancipation process. They must have some kind of entity do it for them, including their own parent in the case of mutually agreed-upon emancipation (that is, the parent is consenting to the emancipation). It can also be initiated by child protective services if the minor is being abused or neglected.

Judges will not grant emancipation to a minor who does not have a place to live and stable income, and will also consider other factors.
