Best Answer

While "unemancipated" is not a common term, someone who was previously emancipated (legally freed from parental control) could potentially have that status reversed by a court if certain conditions were met, such as demonstrating the ability to provide for oneself. However, the process to undo an emancipation is typically complex and rare.

I am 17 years old and live in Tennessee can i legally move out?

Emancipation in the United States of America In the United States, a person is a minor (and therefore under the control of their parent(s)/guardian(s)) until he or she attains the Age of Majority (18 years in most states), at which point he or she is an adult. However, in special circumstances, a minor can be freed from control by his or her guardian before turning 18. In most states, the three circumstances in which a minor becomes emancipated are: (1) enlisting in the military (requires parent/guardian consent), (2) marrying (requires parent/guardian consent), (3) obtaining a court order from a judge (does not require parent/guardian consent). What an emancipated minor is legally able to depends heavily on state law. Many states, for example New York [1], grant emancipated minors no additional rights over unemancipated minors except the rights to personal control over property, finances and residency. The exact laws and protocols for obtaining emancipation vary from state to state. In most states, the minor must file a petition with the family court in his/her jurisdiction, formally requesting emancipation and citing reasons why it is in his/her best interest to be emancipated. He/she must prove that he/she can support himself/herself financially. Many states require that the minor have been living separate from his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) for a period of time; however, that requires the consent of the parent(s)/guardian(s) in order to not classify simply as "running away". Emancipations are rarely granted, because of the subjectivity and narrowness of the definition of "best interest". On one end of the spectrum are minors who have been victims of abuse; in most cases, the state's department of child services is notified and the child is placed in foster care. On the other end of the spectrum are minors who are seeking emancipation for reasons such as not being pleased with their parents'/guardians' rules. In those cases, the emancipation will most likely be denied and the minor will be sent back home with the parent/guardian. In some states, free legal aid is available to minors seeking emancipation, through children's law centers. This can be a valuable resource for minors trying to create a convincing emancipation petition. This is right from Wikipedia Good luck
