Can a 15-year-old be emancipated from her parents?

Answer 1

yes a fifteen year old girl can be emaciated from her parents for GOOD reasons. they would however have to be very good reasons and some alternate form of care or monetering would have to be set up. You can probably lose the parents you have now (if you have enough money for a very good laywer) but youll probably have to pick up a new set.

AnswerOnce a minor is emancipated, there is no 'alternate form of care or monitoring'. A minor does not have to 'pick up another set of parents' to become emancipated. If they 'get' new parents, then that�s not emancipation, that�s a custody/guardianship transfer (which basically isn�t going to happen unless their parents are proven to be unfit).

Emancipation means a minor is on their own. They are responsible for their own actions. They are also responsible for paying their own bills (rent/utilities/food/clothing/medical expenses/etc) and will have to prove to the court that they are capable of doing that. Your average 15-year-old would not be capable of doing that since child labor laws greatly restrict the number of hours that they�re allowed to work. Which is one reason that most states (with the exception of CA and possibly one other?) require that a minor be at least 16 in order to petition for emancipation.

Answer 2

First of all, 15 is young to be emancipated. In most states you must be at least 16 and there are many states that do not allow emancipation at all. And one of the most consistent requirements in those that have emancipation is that you show your ability to support yourself. Your relationship with the place you are living will be a matter of contract between you and them. If they set rules for you to follow, and you don't want to follow them, find someplace else to live. They are certainly within their rights to kick you out, you are no longer a 'minor' that requires sheltering by anyone else.
