Re: amacipation

Unfortunately, a NON custodial parent's Petition seeking emancipation of a child, under the circumstances you describe is generally not granted.

Although you may be disgusted or distainful at what your child is becoming, Your obligation for your child, has not changed.

Your child support obligation continues until age 21, unless your child goes into the service or obtains full time employment, etc..

Recommend that you Gri[mace] and bear it.

GOOD LUCK,
