    Lightbulb Nebraska Emancipation

    How old do you have to be to get emancipated in Nebraska? Cause I can't stand living with my mother and brother for another day! I really want to move out on my own. I still need to find a job though...

    Does this mean that getting emancipated in this state, is not an option, or ever granted? Sorry to bother you with a silly question like that Mr. Knowitall.

    There are no statutes, but there have been several cases that have proven that a child was emancipated.

    Where a child departed from the family home and the parent consented to the departure, the child was found to be emancipated in Holland v. Hartley, 171 N.C. 376, 88 S.E. 507 [***6] (1916); in Poudre Valley Hospital District v. Heckart, supra; and in Timmerman v. Brown, 268 S.C. 303, 233 S.E.2d 106 (1977).

    Complete emancipation of a child relieves the parent from liability to those who furnish necessaries of life to that child. Brosius v. Barker, 154 Mo. App. 657, 136 S.W. 18 (1911); Timmerman v. Brown, 268 S.C. 303, 233 S.E.2d 106 (1977); Poudre Valley Hospital District v. Heckart, 491 P.2d 984 (Colo. App. 1971).

    Also if a minor were to marry or enlist in the military this has held up as the minor being emancipated.

    Do you happen to know if those are child support cases, or are they cases in which a minor was determined to have the rights of an adult?

    The first one, these cases were used to determine if it released the parent from having a legal responsibility to support the child.

    In this case.

    It only proves that a child can be considered emancipated as in the circumstances stated above.

    Yes, but being considered emancipated so as to alleviate a support obligation is something quite apart from the child's being regarded as an adult for most purposes under state law. The child support question tends to turn only on whether the recipient of the support is still actually providing for the care and support of the child.

    We were having a discussion on another board with a poster who was having a hard time getting emancipated, because she enlisted in the guard, but not for a full term yet. So do you have to sign up for full time enlistment for this to come into play? (like for 4 years)?

    In the state of... Nebraska? Or somewhere else?

    Typically, whether from the perspective of ending support or ending parental control, the emancipation comes from active duty service, which takes the minor out of the home and quite possibly into base housing, with food, uniform, etc., provided by the military.

    Thank you Aaron, this poster was only signed up for the national guard (one weekend a month I think?)
