Marital Emancipation At A Glance

Every situation of marital emancipation has different implications. If the minor has gone through a divorce, then a court will most likely rule that because the minor is no longer receiving support, the parents are required to provide continued assistance to the child.

The court plays an essential role in deciding whether or not child emancipation occurred when the minor was married. In some instances, if the minor entered into a marriage they may not be required to move out or support themselves to be considered emancipated. In many cases the parents may choose to allow their child and their child's spouse to continue living in their house. A minor's status as to whether or not they are emancipated is very dependent on the circumstances surrounding the child's marriage.
