What is the process for emancipation in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, a minor seeking emancipation must be at least 16 years old, demonstrate financial independence, obtain written consent from a parent or legal guardian, and file a petition in court. The court will then hold a hearing to determine if emancipation is in the minor's best interest. If approved, the minor will be granted legal independence and rights similar to an adult.


If both your parents agree to your moving out can you be emancipated?

No, you cannot get emancipated from just one parent. It sounds like maybe what you're wanting to do is live with the non-custodial parent? If so, then that's a custody issue, not an emancipation issue. An emancipation decree conferred upon a minor indicates that the minor is deemed a legal adult and does not require the intervention of other adults (including a parent) in financial or personal matters.


Can a teenager file for a divorce from one parent?

In most cases, a teenager cannot file for divorce from a parent. Family law typically grants parental rights to the married couple, not to the child, so the teenager would not have legal standing to file for divorce. However, if there are exceptional circumstances of abuse or neglect, the teenager may be able to seek legal emancipation from a parent with the help of a lawyer.
