California Emancipation Law
The California courts self-help site has a lot of information on emancipation law. An excerpt:
Quote:
Quoting How do I get emancipated?
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.
