Pennsylvania's emancipation policies vary by county. You may find this information and guide to each county's policy from the Juvenile Law Center to be helpful.

Unfortunately, I believe you will find that your son is not a suitable candidate for emancipation, and that there is no method (short of step-parent adoption) which is going to let you avoid your parental rights.
