    Default Re: Curiousity Regarding Emancipation In TN

    Tennessee has no emancipation statute. Tennessee Legal Aid indicates that it is possible, but with no statute the circumstances under which a court might grant emancipation will vary by court and judge. A Tennessee family lawyer may be able to advise you of any common law processes.
    Quote Quoting When Will a Court Emancipate a Minor
    Each judge will have a different approach to deciding whether emancipation is in the minor’s best interest. Generally, the judge will want to make sure that emancipation will not make the minor’s life worse. Determining factors may include:

    • Will the minor graduate from high school or get a GED?
    • Where will the minor live?
    • How will the minor support himself/herself?
    • If the minor has a child, how will he/she support the child?
    • If the minor has a child, what kind of child care will be provided while the minor is at work or in school?
