Answer 2

Emancipation typically requires a minor to be financially independent, demonstrate the ability to support themselves, show maturity and responsibility, and have a compelling reason to be emancipated, such as escaping an abusive situation or pursuing educational or career opportunities. The minor must file a petition with the court, attend a hearing, and obtain a court order for emancipation.
