    Default Emancipation of My Daughter

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Texas,

    I am a parent of a 15 yr old girl, she currently lives with her mother and stepdad in Texas, she has expressed to me that she is not happy and that when she turns 16 in January she wants to become emancipated. Is this possible for her, from my emails from her I am getting the impression that she wants to become emancipated and live with me here in Michigan. What does she have to do? And can she do this? And what kind of impact will this have on her.
    Thank You

    No, emancipation is not an option if she intends to come with you. Emancipation is about self support, not leaving one support unit to go to another.

    You can read the statutes here.

    Have you talked to your ex about changing the custody arrangement?
