Re: emancipation for my daughter
Based on the limited information you provided, I can't answer your question.
Emancipating (removal of disabilities in Texas) takes awhile. If she's is going to turn 18 in less than 6 months, I would not waste your time and money trying to do an emancipating.
Does Texas have jurisdiction? I can't answer that. Is there a court of continuing jurisdiction over her - such as from your divorce?
The only kids I see get emancipated in Houston are those that are athletes or musicians so that they can sign a contract and be bound by it after they turn 18.
Good luck!
Happy Holidays!
