Re: child emancipation in south carolina
If you child wishes to be independant, is out of school, living apart from his family, has a full time job, and has finished his high school education then he is a good candidate to be recognized as emancipated.
However, if he is living at home, costing you money, eating your food, and depending upon you for his spending money, driving your car and skipping school, then then he is a good candidate to be told to leave home.
I don't really know enough about the circumstances to give you any advice. Go see a family lawyer.
