Emancipation of minors is a legal mechanism by which a minor is freed from control by their parents or guardians, and the parents or guardians are freed from any and all responsibility toward the child. Until an emancipation is granted by a court, a minor is still subject to the rules of their parents or guardians.

In most countries of the world, adolescents below the legal age of majority (adulthood) may be emancipated in some manner: through marriage, economic self-sufficiency, educational degree or diploma, military service, or obtaining medical conditions in a form of diseases such as AIDS, HPV, or other STDs.

Whether parental consent is needed to achieve the "emancipated" status varies from case to case. In some cases, court permission is necessary. Protocols vary by jurisdiction.

Do parents have to consent to emancipation of minors in virginia?
Q. Also I was wondering what were the terms of the emancipation if the minor has not obtained a driver's license/learner's permit and does not own a car...Thanks!

A. Parents do not have to consent if it is court ordered, as it was in my case in the state of Oregon at the age of 16. I don't think that a license to drive is required for emancipation. I did not have one. However, the minor needs to have a guaranteed source of income. If not, emancipation would be the equivalent of a free pass to street-kidhood. Foster care is much more likely in the case of family problems. No court will emancipate a minor just because they want out of the house earlier. If the parents want the kid out of the house and the child wants the same, no emancipation order is needed.
