Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: child emancipation

Emancipation of a minor requires that the minor fill out and file with the court a petition to be emancipated. The judeg will not sign the emancipation petition unless the minor has the ability to support themself. These forms are simple enough that the minor should be able to fill them out without legal assistance. As to the Social Security that is a specialized field. You should call Social Security and discuss it with them. My feeling is that the social security payment would continue until the 18th birthday or perhaps later if the individual is attending college.
