It depends on the laws of the state. Some require the parents to file the emancipation papers. In others, the minor can file them, but has to show that the parents know that they have done so. They don't have to agree. The court will determine what the best interests of the minor are.
Emancipation laws vary by state, and not all states have an emancipation statute. You need to check the laws of the state that you reside in. You may be able to file without your parents knowing about it, but they will find out, because the court will notify them. * No. In the few US states that allow emancipation of minors, parents and all persons with "just cause" must be informed of the action and given the opportunity to contest it at the judicial hearing.
No. Emancipation happen either by turning legal age (18) or by applying for emancipation by the court (if that is available in your state). Parents alone can not emancipate you.
If a 16-year-old leaves home without her parents' permission or court emancipation, she would be picked up by the authorities and returned home. What might happen beyond that would depend on the state that you live in, because the laws in each state are different.
Probably not much would happen. However, they could be returned to their parents home.

You're talking about emancipation. If you're in the US, emancipation for a 13-year-old is not going to happen for a multitude of reasons (I'm not even aware of a state that will allow a 13-year-old to file of emancipation). If there is abuse or neglect in the home, talk to a family member, a school counselor, etc. Otherwise--if it's just a case of you not getting along with your parents--find a way to work it out.

You are 18 and an adult so they can legally kick you out if they want to. They no longer have a obligation to provide for you. So try to get along with your parents because they might get sick of your behavior. Basically they worry about you and that only means they love you.
{| |- | It really isn't going to happen. Until they are adults they remain the responsibility of their parents. Being a parent under the age of majority does not change that. And in the states that do allow emancipation, one must be at least 16 to be considered for emancipation. |}
In MASS., the age of legal emancipation is 18. That means that if you were to move from your parents home before then that you could be classified as a run away. Of course, if you happen to be 30 years old, not only CAN you move but your parents would probably thank you!
Emancipation typically refers to a legal status in which a minor is considered independent of their parents. While attending college may demonstrate a level of independence, it does not automatically lead to emancipation. Emancipation is a legal process that requires a court order and specific criteria to be met.
