Either the youth seeking emancipation, or his/her parents, can start the emancipation process. The person who starts the process files, or has a lawyer file, an emancipation petition with juvenile or probate court for the town where the youth or either parent or guardian lives. If the youth seeking emancipation needs a lawyer to start this process, or to defend himself/herself, and cannot afford one, the juvenile court may appoint a lawyer at no charge. There will be a meeting (or hearing) in front of a judge to discuss the emancipation petition. Only the judge can order the emancipation.
