Emancipation is tricky. The usual situation, once a child is 18, is to prove the child is still a dependent for various purposes, and you have to look at the statute covering the situation. An 18-year old can quit school, get a job, live where he/she wants to, get married, join the armed forces, vote. Unless the child is married or in the armed forces, for most purposes he/she will be considered a dependent, which is the opposite of emancipated, unless he/she has a full-time job and is living apart.
