Re: emancipation and college

In certainly sounds like she is emancipated. She's appears to be living on her own, paying for college (or getting it paid) through her own means and not looking to either of her parents for any support whatsoever. You must keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly could be 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
