The word “emancipation” literally means to become free from the control or restraint of another. In the context of emancipated minors, emancipation is essentially a legal procedure whereby children become legally responsible for themselves and their parents are no longer responsible (financially or otherwise) for their children. Thus, emancipated children are freed from parental custody and control and essentially become “adults” in many ways.

Parents generally have the legal right to custody and control of their unemancipated minor children. Parents can decide where their children will live, what school they will attend, what medical treatment they will receive, and what religion their children will practice. An emancipated minor, on the other hand, is free from such custody and control.

Emancipation in General

As soon as an individual turns 18 he or she legally becomes an adult and is automatically emancipated from such parental custody and control. Likewise, when a minor marries or joins the armed forces (with parental consent and permission from the court), he or she becomes emancipated from his or her parents.

Although in some states a minor can become emancipated simply by declaring himself or herself emancipated, in California a minor over the age of 14 has to petition the court and obtain a declaration of emancipation from a judge Ö a complex proceeding.

Some parts of the United States have quite liberal procedures. Louisiana and Puerto Rico, whose legal systems rely heavily on European law, allow parents to confer a limited form of emancipation on their children with very little interference from the judicial system. A number of states or regions such as Illinois and the Virgin Islands also allow an expedited form of emancipation with parental consent, although this legal procedure is only designed for older teenagers.

Answer #4

Hi hon. Don’t know what state you are in, but in Illinois if you are 12 the court will give you a choice of who you want to live with. Your sister could also petition the court on your behalf. How about your Dad, would he help you? Good Luck!

Answer #5

hey i know exactly how you feel abut this whole situation because i have been through the exact same thing. and i have sat down with my parents and talked to them many of times. but i have never had to move anywhere because of that or because i want to live with my sister or brother . they use to yell at me a lot but then i finally learned how to deal with it. if u are shy u have to speak up but not to the point to where it is going to make them mad at you, just tell them how things are going and if they dont listen to u then just walk away and give it some time then go and try again. if u dnt try then its going to get worse each day. so just try as hard as u can to make things better. hope i helped =]

Answer #6

Dear wannaescape49, If your parents are moving because your sister is following them…then you ask why is she following them? How do any of them keep a job? What is really going on here? If we read between the lines we can see there is more of a problem than you are saying. Your parents are yelling a lot at you…that isn’t appropriate but they must feel you aren’t following the rules. What are the rules? Go see a counsellor at school…they can help you with this situation as long as you are honest with them. Sue…good luck

Answer #7

Sorry to hear about this hun, its a horrible situation but unfortunely you cannot move out until you turn 18, becos if you do it now your parents will only call the police to come find you. So until you turn 18 and can do what ever you want unfortunetly theres nothing that can be done. Now you can try talking to them about how you feel, dont yell at them or anything, just sit down with them and explain that they make you feel so bad all the time and are always sad becos of them and want some changes to be made. See how that talk goes.

Answer #8

The laws vary by state, and not all states have emancipation laws. In the states without emancipation laws, the only way to become emancipated is by (1) turning 18 (2) getting (legally) married (3) joining the military (which minors have to have parental consent to do). In the states that do have emancipation laws: generally, you petition the court for a declaration of emancipation. You have to prove that you are capable of supporting yourself (and that means of support can not be public assistance). You also have to prove that it’s in your best interest to be emancipated. That’s not always an easy thing to do. The courts generally don’t like to override the authority of parents, so you would have really prove your case. The courts then decide rather to grant or deny your petition. It is not a quick and easy process.
