		Emancipation is a court procedure in which a minor (someone under 18) is released from parental control. Once a minor is emancipated, she is free to make all her decisions without the consent of her parents.
		Emancipation is not permanent. An emancipated minor can retain this status only so long as she is financially independent from her parents and lives apart from them. If she returns home before turning 18 or accepts financial support from them, she is no longer emancipated and her status returns to that of a dependent minor.
		Because of the complexity of the emancipation process, it may be wise to consult with a family law lawyer. Speaking with a family law attorney will help you understand your rights and obligations as well as preserve any possible remedies you may have.
