Yes,that's the point of emancipation, the person is asserting their rights to become an adult. Which means (or should mean) the person is responsible for their own welfare, getting a job, using the income to pay for room, board, clothing, medical care and numerous other things. Being "grown up" is not as great or easy at it might sound.

Added: If you are legally emancipated, but still live at home, your status reverts to that of a "tenant."

Can you be emancipated then move somewhere else?
Emancipated means you take care of yourself. To become emancipated you have to prove to a court that you can support yourself. This will cost you in lawyers fees and court costs. A judge will hear why you think you should be emancipated, look at your income, and render a decision. You will need at least 2500 a month net to pay for rent and all of your bills, so that means you will have to earn about 3200 a month gross. With a high school education and a job at hamburger place you can't earn that or come close to it. The most you will earn in a min. wage job working full time seven days a week is 1,792.00 gross and you will bring home about 1700 a month. Sure you can move but can you afford to support yourself?
What are the circumstances to get an emancipation when your 16?
It varies between states and not all states have emancipation but basically you have to be able to support yourself, work or go to school and have a place to live. if you get emancipated but do not manage to keep it the judge can withdraw it and you have to move back home.

When can you legally become emancipated in Missouri?
In Missouri, you can become legally emancipated at the age of 16 with a court order. Emancipation allows you to live independently and make decisions regarding your own finances, education, and healthcare. You will need to demonstrate to the court that you have the ability to support yourself financially and manage your own affairs.
Can a child be emancipated at 15 if no longer want to live with parents?
No. In states where you can seek emancipation by the courts you have to be at least 16 to apply and then be able to support yourself etc. All kids feel one time or another they want to move out. It's a part of growing up and not a reason for the court to emancipate you and leave you to fend for yourself. If you are abused in your home you can contact the CPS or police for help.
Can an emancipated child collect child support?
No. That is the whole point and one of the criteria required when you apply - you have to be able to support yourself like all emancipated adults. In some states the emancipation can be undone and you have to move back home if you can not care for yourself.
Can a 16 year old be emancipated if her family is abusing her?
The first thing they do when a minor is in that situation is to put her in a foster home. To be emancipated you will have to be able to support yourself and pay for a home etc. Very few 16yo can do that. That is up to the judge.
If you were abused in an old home and sent away with another legal parent can you still get emancipated from the parent you live with now?
YES, YOU JUST HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELF AS IF YOU WERE AN ADULT. Why would you want to be emancipated if you live at home? I can't help but wonder if it's a case of wanting the freedom to make all your own decisions, but still depending on Mom and Dad for support? If that is the case, then it's not going to happen.
Can a 17 year old leave her parents home in Illinois and move in with her girlfriend without getting the police involved?
I believe you have to become an emancipated minor. You have to have a means to support yourself and prove to the court you can take care of yourself.
What age do you have to be until you have a say over yourself?
If you want to have a 'say' over yourself.....even if you are 18....but still reside in your parents home, you have to follow their rules. If you are a minor, the age of emancipation varies by state. You must prove to a judge that you are responsible, get good grades, and that you can take care of yourself...you can apply to become an emancipated minor. If a judge signs off on this... you not only will be responsible to take care of, and support, yourself like an adult....BUT, IF YOU BECOME EMANCIPATED AT THAT POINT YOU CAN ALSO CHARGED AS AN ADULT IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME.
Can you leave home at 17 in nc and not be forced to return home?
yes you can if you go through the court system and get emancipated, but in order for that to happen you have to get an apartment, a job, and be able to support yourself. You can also apply for food stamps. lol haha
If you went to boot camp with your parents' consent and became legally emancipated and got sent home for medical reasons would you still be legally emancipated now that you're home and still under 18?
That's a question for an attorney in the state in which you were emancipated. However, assuming the emancipation was not conditional (such as you remaining in the service), you probably are. The real question is this: If you're emancipated, what are you calling "home?" If what you're referring to as "home" is where your parents live, an emancipated individual would be a guest in their home and obviously could be invited to remain (or not) at their pleasure.

Yes, unless the child is emancipated.
Can you move out of your parents home legally at seventeen if your pregnant?
No, you are not emancipated automatically when you are pregnant. It does not mean one has the ability to take care of yourself. You do have certain rights as to obtaining assistance for you and your child, but you are still the responsibility of your parents until you turn 18.
