Yes, check the laws in your state to see what age you have to be. It is somewhere between 15-18 depending on the state.

* Emancipation laws vary by state, and not all states have an emancipation statute. You need to check the laws of your specific state. I believe there are states (such as Arizona) that do not allow a minor who is in the states custody to be emancipated. Of course, I could be wrong.

* Minor's who have been made a ward of the state or remanded to foster, group homes or juvenile facilities cannot independently apply for emancipation even if the state has such a procedure. A request must be made by the "ward" to the caseworker or Guardian Ad Litem that is overseeing the custody of the minor for permission to file an emancipation petition.

Only the judge that hears your emancipation petition can make that decision, but as an experienced opinion - I would not think that you had a good chance at it.

If a father has sole legal and physical custody of his thirteen year old daughter can the daughter become emancipated from her mother in the state of Pennsylvania?

You cannot become emancipated from just one parent. And no state will even consider emancipating a 13-year-old. I'm guessing this is not really an emancipation issue, but instead a custody/visitation issue, which is a very different thing.

Emancipation is a matter for the courts and for the person (people) who do have legal custody of you. As your cousin does not have custody, you cousin has nothing to say about whether you can be emancipated.

You can consult with an attorney who specializes in family law to understand the process of emancipation in New Jersey. You may need to prove that you can support yourself financially and are capable of living independently. It's important to gather any necessary documentation to support your case for emancipation.

Not if you are under 18. Just like your parents had custody of you the state now have custody of you. So when you needed parental consent you now need the state's consent for moving before 18 for instance.
