Re: emancipation of your child

You can't just turn her over to the state, if that's what you are asking. If she wants to live as an adult, and can prove to a judge that she has her own job, place to live, means of support, etc., you can consent to her emancipation. As long as her father agrees, a judge will probably allow her to live on her own as an adult, but your daughter will have to initiate the lawsuit.
