Colorado does not appear to have a statutorily defined procedure for emancipation. It recognizes emancipation in its statutes:

(45) "Emancipated juvenile", as used in section 19-2-511, means a juvenile over fifteen years of age and under eighteen years of age who has, with the real or apparent assent of the juvenile's parents, demonstrated independence from the juvenile's parents in matters of care, custody, and earnings. The term may include, but shall not be limited to, any such juvenile who has the sole responsibility for the juvenile's own support, who is married, or who is in the military.

In order to qualify as emancipated under that statute, at a minimum you would have to be at least fifteen years old and living independently of your parents.
