Enapcipating a minor
I would like to know how would I possibly go about enapcipating my 18 year old granddaughter who is now pregnant, And what are the legalities involed? Please excuse the misspelling of the word enapcipating.
Thank you,

Re: Enapcipating a minor
An 18 year old does not need to be emancipated as they are an adult and are free to make their own decisions. Parents have an obligation to support a child when they are 18 and still in high school until they are no longer enrolled as a full time student or the turn age 19. However, an 18 year old is an adult and is free to make all adult decisions for themself. Good Luck, Pat McCrary*
