Emancipation occurs when a minor involuntarily leaves home and lives apart from his or her parents.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emancipation is a legal process where a minor is granted the status of an adult and is no longer under the control or care of their parents or legal guardians. It requires a petition to be filed in court and a judicial hearing to determine if the minor meets the criteria for emancipation. Merely leaving home and living apart from parents does not automatically make a minor emancipated.
