With emancipation she would lose entitlement to child support of any kind. 800 273 7933

Re: 18yr old wanting to become emancipated

Once she is declared emancipated she is no longer entitled to financial support from her parents. She can live with the parent of her choice. You call me at 800 273 7933 if you require legal services.

Re: 18yr old wanting to become emancipated

It is unclear from your question as to who is presently the "residential" parent. If you are the parent, there is nothing that would require you to ask anything of the other parent. Further, she does not need to be in the middle. Most Courts would issue orders forbidding the parents from discussing these issues with the child. The bottom line is that your daughter's goals could probably be accomplished but a determination as to the direction at this point cannot be made until a full review of all of the facts and circumstances. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. If you have not retained an attorney, before you take any action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention Law Guru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
