How Do You Obtain Minor Emancipation Without A Lawyer?
Emancipation of a minor is the term for releasing a child from parental control and responsibility. A child may seek emancipation for reasons such as abuse, neglect, marriage, teen pregnancy, joining the military or just to be an independent adult. After emancipation, a minor may enter into contracts, such as rental agreement or financial arrangements, without having a parent co-sign. Become emancipated without going to court by getting married, joining the military or graduating high school. Be financially independent. A judge will not grant your emancipation if you are unable to totally support yourself. Your income may not be from any illegal activity. Make sure it is in your best interest to become emancipated. The judge will rule in what he believes is your best interest. If the judge doesn’t grant emancipation, he may suggest family counseling, living with another responsible adult or an informal living arrangement with your parents where you live on your own without emancipation
