How does a teenager become emancipated?
Emancipation is the term for the process by which a teenager who is under 18 may become an adult under the law. The requirements for emancipation are set out in Alaska Statute http://www.state.ak.us/courts/shceman.htm/a>. The emancipation process is difficult but may be an option for some teenagers who are without adult support and may need to make legal, medical, and financial decisions for themselves.
