Emancipation

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Louisiana

I am wondering about the possibility of emancipating my 17 year old son. He is not in school. He does not have a job and is not looking for one. He does not listen to anything I tell him to do. He was previously on probation but has finished his term. He has absolutely no respect for me or my property. He has broken the sliding glass door at my house, shot holes in the shed ( my landlord made me pay for a new shed ), broken several things around the house, etc. He screams, yells, curses and tears things up when he can't get his way. His father and I have been divorced since he was three years old. His father drives a truck and is rarely home. He has not spent much time with him at all through the years. I am at my wit's end. I have no one to help me with him. I have tried everything I know to do with him and nothing seems to help. If emancipation is not an option, can I terminate my parental rights?

Louisiana recognizes three types of emancipation:

1. Emancipation conferring the power of administration.

2. Emancipation by marriage.

3. Emancipation relieving the minor from the time prescribed by law for attaining the age of majority.

Some statutes from the Louisiana Civil Code describing how emancipation can be obtained:

Quote:

---

Quoting Art. 366. Emancipation by notarial act

---

The minor, although not married, may be emancipated by his father or, upon the death of the father, by his mother or, in the event of divorce or separation from bed and board, by the natural tutor or cotutors acting jointly, when he shall have arrived at the full age of fifteen years.

This emancipation takes place by the declaration to that effect of the father, the mother, or both, before a notary public in the presence of two witnesses.

Quoting Art. 368. Emancipation by reason of ill treatment.

Quoting Art. 370. Emancipated minor's powers of administration.

The minor, whether male or female, is emancipated of right by marriage.

Quoting Art. 385. Emancipation of minor sixteen years or older.

---

A minor sixteen years of age or older may be judicially emancipated and relieved of the disabilities which attach to minority as provided in Articles 3991 through 3994 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure.

If I succeed in getting my son emancipated, will I still be legally responsible for his actions?

Suceed how? does he have a job? Does he make enough for self support? Where will he live? Is this about him being self supporting or your avoiding paying for his mistakes?
