Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

I know a child who is in college and the custodial parent is refusing to do the necessary paperwork that will allow the child to return to college for the spring semester. If this child were emancipated would she then be responsible for her own paperwork which would solve the problem?

I do not understand why the child cannot do the paperwork his or herself. Emancipating a child requires court approval and may involve other issues. Before beginning any emancipation motions I suggest you contact an attorney.

There are serious and for the child very bad results from emancipating. It may really cause the child problems in going back to college. Please get advice from a good family law and divorce attorney before you do anything.
