I think you are talking about a determination of emancipation. A child or a noncustodial parnet may Petition for this. They are rarley successful if th echidl does nto concede the issue. But, if the chidl is married or living away form the parnets and providing thier own financial support, it may be possible, if the chidl does not agree. But, it is alomost nver successful where the parent is just tired of dealing with the drama and headaches of rearing a teenager, and the child cannot financially support themself..

Good luck
