Emancipation of Minors


Welcome to the "Emancipation of Minors" section of FindLaw's Family Law Center. In family law cases, "emancipation of a minor" (also called "divorce from parents") refers to a court process through which a minor can become legally recognized as an independent adult. This section provides information on emancipation of minors, including a look at select state minor emancipation laws. (Note: Minor emancipation is not an option in a number of states.)
