Re: emancipation in oregon
What is your definition of emancipation?
In other words, what do you think that YOU have to do to be emancipated?
(This is NOT a trick question.)

Quoting Oregon Emancipation Law
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emancipation gives you certain rights of an adult. You must be at least 16 years old, able to support yourself, live on your own, and manage your own affairs. You need to file a Petition for Emancipation with the Juvenile Court in the county where you live and give a copy of it to your parents. The court will set a hearing to make the decision. The judge will decide if it is in your best interest to be emancipated by considering whether you have been living away from your parents and can support and care for yourself without parental assistance and supervision. If the court allows you to be emancipated, your parents will have no duty to support you, you will be treated as an adult under criminal laws, and you will have the right to contract, sue, and be sued. Emancipation does not give you the right to drink alcohol, vote, or marry.
