    Default Teen Emancipation

    I was curious is anyone would be able to tell me all that needs to occur in order for a 16 year old to become emancipated. Also, do you need the parents consent to do it, or would a sufficient reason for the court be enough? And what if you live in Iowa, can you get emancipated in Illinois, and do you need to become a resident of Illinois to do it, or can you simply cross the river and take care of it there?

    First you need to be clear on which state your legal residence is in. That is state you must petition in. Not all states have emancipation laws and not all states will recognize you as an emancipated teen!

    Default Teen emancipation

    An Iowan resident, with a father ten minutes away in Illinois. Would you need to become an Illinois resident, or can you do it in Illinois, living in Iowa? And does it matter how far along you are in your age, for example: 16 and a half or 16 and three quarters, or is that not going to strengthen your petition?

    As I said Iowa has no statute and your a resident of Iowa. Unless you move and change your "legal" residence you cannot be emancipated

    Ok, that answers that question, thank you so much. And how about if you do become an Illinois resident? Would it work out that way, and how?
