Can a 16yr old be emancipated if one parent does not consent?

According to the California Courts, there are 3 ways to get emancipated:

1. Get married. You need permission from your parents and the court.

2. Join the armed forces. You need permission from your parents, and the armed forces must accept you.

3. Get a declaration of emancipation from a judge. To get a declaration of emancipation, you have to prove ALL of these things:
You are at least 14 years old.
You don't want to live with your parents. Your parents don't mind if you move out.
You can handle your own money.
You have a legal way to make money.
Emancipation would be good for you.
