Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in Tennessee

Re: Emancipation

In Tennessee, as in all the other 50 states, there is a presumption against emancipation of a minor. That means there must be compelling circumstances to sever the parental rights. You do not give enough facts in your question to enable a complete answer. I don't know how old you are, and whether you could support yourself. You also did not indicate what you hope to achieve by being declared emancipated. If you want to live with someone else, there is another means available: petition for custody.
