Does the Mississippi emancipation laws to age 21 apply if child lives in Florida and has never lived in Mississippi?

The Mississippi emancipation laws primarily apply to minors who reside in Mississippi or have a legal connection to the state. If a child has never lived in Mississippi and currently resides in Florida, the Mississippi laws would not be applicable. Instead, Florida's laws regarding emancipation and the age at which a minor can become emancipated would govern the situation. Therefore, the specific requirements and processes for emancipation would need to be examined under Florida law.
