Colorado does not appear to have a statutorily defined procedure for emancipation. It recognizes emancipation in its statutes:
I'm not sure that your daughter would qualify under all of those criteria, but you're in a better position to judge.

Are there any parental rights to emancipate?

You're the parent. You should know if your parental rights have been terminated.

What do you mean? Everything on here is from kids wanting to be emancipated. I am looking for the right to emancipate my child for being out of control and I need to let her go to see how it is out there.

I don't understand your question then. If you have parental rights, then you have parental rights.

Can a parent by law, emancipate a child due to being out of control?

I also found this:

Under the Juvenile Act a minor can be found dependent if he or she “has committed acts or acts of habitual disobedience of the reasonable and lawful commands of his parent, guardian or other custodian and who is ungovernable and found to be in need of care, treatment or supervision.” 42 Pa. Cons. Stat. §6302 (1996).

Are you suggesting ths young man be disobient and or unlawful so his parents will allow him to leave!? Where I support the Father seeing his child and being part of child's life I do not support the idea of breaking up one family to form another!

That law appears to empower a juvenile court to make a problem teen a ward of the court.

This is a young lady who has never had contact from her father or support. It is just she and I and I am trying to find out if I should just let her go out in the world to understand that it is not fun. Especially in the world that she wants to live in. I have sent her to therapy, had the courts intervene, changed her schools.... you name it. Believe me, I do not want to see her do this, but not sure what is left.

Aaron,

Thank you again for your help. I thought it was meant as a ward of the court issue.
