Emancipation is up to the judge. If you can show a clear ability to support yourself and show a reason why you want to be on your own, the judge may grant it. In the few cases I have seen, the judge will grant emancipation where a minor has a criminal complaint, or civil complaint against the parents or foster home. Usually an abusive environment is always cause. Other causes are the minor's desire and ability to follow a career path or educational path that requires relocation. Sometimes one wants to go to a different school. If the parents are OK with that and are willing to provide support, the judge may accept that as well.

Usually a minor as young as 14 can file for emancipation.
