If you live in the US... In some states parents must consent to the emancipation. In other states their consent is not required, but they are served notice of the petition and are given the opportunity to contest it. If they contest it, then the minor better have a darn good reason (which needs to be proven) why emancipation would be in their best interest (ie abuse, neglect, failure to provide the basic necessities of life, etc). And in fact, even if the parents don't contest it, the minor still must have a valid reason. And even if the minor has a valid reason, the court will still deny the petition if the minor doesn't meet all the other requirements for emancipation. Only a *small* percentage of emancipation petitions are approved.

The only way that parental rights will be terminated is if both parents and the family court agree that it is in the best interest of the child to terminate them. Simply wishing to stop being responsible for child support typically is not sufficient reason to terminate because it leaves the child in the position of not being cared for financially. Adoptive parents become natural parents with all the rights and responsibilities that entails the moment the adoption papers are finalized.

Their rights start where the parents' rights begin.

If the parents are out of the picture, the grandparents can certainly apply to become guardians of the child.
