Emancipation of minors is a process that occurs when a Court (or another body given that authority) declares that someone who is still a Minor is nevertheless to have the legal rights of an Adult , and to be free of any authority from their Parent or other Legal Guardian . In the United States , each state has its own laws regarding the Emancipation of minors, and many states deem minors to be automatically emancipated if they Marry . In California, in order to be emancipated the minor must be at least 14, be living apart from his/her parents, and be proven to have the means to support him/herself. An emancipated minor has the ability to legally sign for himself/herself, something a normal minor cannot do. SEE ALSO |
