yes * Very few US states have grounds and procedures for the emancipation of a minor. Once a minor receives an emancipation decree they are considered an adult and may change residency, marry or engage in other activities that are not restricted by law, such as buying alcohol.

NO ! You do need to check the laws of what state you are in. I am in Missouri. My 17 year old daughter left home and either I or the law could pick her up and bring her home. Here, you are legally responsible for your child until they are 18. So, until she is 18, go get her!!!

Yes if that is an option in your state, not all states offer this. But said 17 year old has to go through court and show a judge that he/she is able to take care of themselves.

If her parents give permission, yes. This does not relieve them of the responsibility for providing support for a minor.

Does the state assist financially for the emancipated child?

If you mean after turning 18, no. Some states and some support agreements last after 18 or until school is over. If you mean by getting emancipated by the courts before you are 18, one of the requirements you have to fill to be emancipated is to be able to support yourself with a job and a place to live etc. So no.


What are emancipation forms?

Emancipation forms are the documents a minor must fill out and submit to the court if they wish to become emancipated before they turn 18. The Forms vary from state to state, but your local court house should be able to help you with them.


Can you move out of your parents' house in the state of Texas without the police making you go back home if you're 17 years old and you graduate from school in 5 months?

Can a parent have a 17-year-old emancipated in the state of Wisconsin?

I don't believe Wisconsin has an emancipation statute. However, you might still be able to petition for emancipation, because generally you can ask the court for anything you want. It would be wise to consult with a local attorney.


Does a parent still have to pay child support if child moves out on there own?

If the child is emancipated, which generally means self-sufficient, the obligor should be able to get the order for support terminated. Certainly, if the child is still under the obligations of the parents, you can file for custody, if if no emancipation takes place. If the child refuses parental control, than file to have them emancipated, but state laws vary from state to state on this. In New York, child support continues to age 21, regardless of where the child lives. see links below

If you are 17 you might already be 18 and naturally emancipated by the time the courts are done with your case. Every state is different when it comes to emancipation and not all of them have it.
