Answer well... Wisconsin is known for the dairy productsThe "natural" age of emancipation is 18. In some cases a minor can be legally emancipated. You would want to contact a family lawyer in your local area to ask about this. AnswerThere is no early emancipation statute in the state of Wisconsin.

Answer 2

Not every state has emancipation laws, and Wisconsin is one that does not. There is no statue in Wisconsin under which a minor can petition the court for early emancipation. Although there are no specific laws in the state of Wisconsin that relate to early emancipation of a minor, that does not mean a petition cannot be filed. In states that do not have emancipation statutes the cases are adjudicated on an individual basis, even minors cannot be denied their equal rights under the Constitution. You will need the assistance of state social services or DFS as an investigation of the circumstances will be required before any legal action can commence. The legal age of majority in Wisconsin is 18.

Answer 3

The age of majority is 18. The state does not have early emancipation status. This means a minor may petition the court for emancipation, and cases are adjudicated on an individual basis. To obtain more information on how a filing is done and the requirements, the minor can contact the clerk or administrator of the family court in their city or county.

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.

Answer 5

Wisconsin does not have emancipation status laws and does not accept petitions except where it applies to the termination of parental rights by the state in conjuction with proven neglect and/or abuse. The minor is usually made a "ward of the court" and remanded to a foster or group home until they reach the age of majority which is 18.

I have read and heard that over all to purchase, posess, and consume by onesself is 21. When a minor is supervised by a parent or guardian who is 21 or older that minor may comsume alcohol as long as the minor stays with the parent.

Answer 7

When a person reaches the age of 18 it is not known as emancipation, but as reaching the age of majority the time which the law states that a person legally qualifies as an adult. At such time, the parents are no longer obligated to legally support the adult child financially or to provide housing, clothing, etc unless they choose to do so or there is a court order stipulating such action.

You must be either 18 years old, or emancipated from your parents. Until then, you have to live wherever they say you should.
