Can a child in Pa. emansapate herself at the age of 17?
In Canada, a parent can disown an adopted child by formally severing the legal relationship through a court process, typically involving a petition for termination of parental rights. This process may require showing just cause, such as abandonment or abuse, depending on provincial laws. It's important for the parent to seek legal advice to understand the implications and ensure that the child's best interests are considered. Additionally, the child may have rights and protections under adoption laws that need to be addressed.
Children are usually disowned by their parents after the child does something against the parents wishes. Whether the child was adopted has no affect on if the parents disown them or not.

A child can generally be adopted at any age, but the process and requirements may vary depending on the laws of the specific country or state.

Yes. You just have to write in your will that your adult child gets NOTHING.
