    Default 16-Year-Old Looking For Emancipation

    My name is Skylar, and im currently living in New Jersey, my father for lack of a better reason does not want me anymore due to the fact that his life is falling apart and we fight due to his stress and lack of happiness. My father and i have basically been in crisis for three years now, in and out of programs, tried counseling, he sent me to a hospital to get rid of me saying i was to commit suicide (lie), to which the hospital promptly within 2 nights of staying let me out saying there was nothing wrong with me mentally or psychologically, More then anything a poor relationship between father and son.

    Default Re: 16-Year-Old Looking For Emancipation

    New Jersey has no general emancipation statute. It does have an emancipation statute for minors with HIV, but that's a very limited statute.

    There is some common law authority in support of emancipation, but it's more a description of when a court might deem a minor to be emancipated as opposed to how that might be achieved, although it makes plain that active duty military service results in emancipation. See Bishop v Bishop, 287 NJ Super. 593, 597, 604 (Chan. Div. 1995) (because the mother was no longer fulfilling her son's "material requirements, such as food, housing, and medical care" and "relinquished any remaining control and responsibility over her son" by virtue of the son's enrollment at West Point, the father was held to be relieved from his support obligations for the child.)
