    If you're in the US, it's not going to happen no matter what.

    Tell me why you want to let your disabled son go without support from his parents.

    If you are in the U.S. and you have a disabled child that you want to let the state support and raise instead of you, you will be unsuccessful in divorcing him, and if he is placed in state custody, you will still be required to pay for his care and upkeep until he is an adult. Have you ever seen or heard of an "emancipated" 15 year old disabled child? If you see one out on the street, they're not "emancipated" they're considered a homeless runaway and their parents could very well be prosecuted for their situation.

    Your 15 year old disabled son wants to be emanciapted, so what ? Where did you get the idea that you have to give you son what he wants. The answer you need to give you son is, "Not no, but h**l no ! We are your parents and you are our child. You will do what we tell you to do until you turn 18. You don't have to like it, you just have to do it. You do not tell us what to do, not now, not ever. Do you understand what I just said or do I need to repeat it ?"

    There is a clause in almost every state that disabled children are entitled to support even after the age of majority, depending on their ability to care for themselves.
