The answer to this depends a lot on where you live. 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, most of them require that you be at least 16 before you can petition the court for a declaration of emancipation. But in some states (such as CA) the age limit is lower. You do have to prove to the court that you are capable of supporting yourself--can a 15-year-old do that?

∙ 11y agoIn most US states you are emancipated at 18 but not in Alabama for instance. There you are not considered Age of Majority until you are 19 but you can seek emancipation by the court at 18. You are considered an adult at the age of 18 as far as if you get arrested, but you still cannot enter into contracts and such until the age of 19.

∙ 15y agoThe age of majority for the state is 18 which means that an individual who reaches that age is automatically considered to be an adult and no longer under the jurisdiction of his or her parents. In some instances where the individual has been remanded into state custody while a minor, the person will need to be released by the court when he or she reaches the age of majority.

You can be emancipated from your parents in Utah - however, if you are 18 this is not necessary. Just by turning 18 you are legally an adult and your parents do not have legal ward over you. Get a job, move out - they cant stop you.
