Okay well the us laws are different by state. I used to live in Ohio and you have to have a job prove you will be able to take care of yourself. Another thing is you have to stay in school. To be emancipated your parents have to give up there rights either asign you a gurdian or sign a paper allowing you to be emancipated. OR you have to prove to the courts that your parents are unfit parents. also if your parents are just going sign there rights away you have to go to your county court house. also

I looked up online how to emancipate in england and i found this...

children cannot be emancipated in england.

However if you look at the rights and benefits typically given to emancipated children in places like america (these rights differ depending on where in the world you look) you will notice that children in england can already do all of them long before the legal minimum age of emancipation in america, theirfore there is no need for it in this country.

a few common examples

the right to sue and be sued. -chilren can bring legal action in their own capacity in the uk as long as they understand what they are doing, this is frequently found in devorce proceedings between pearents.

no longer have to obay your pearents -In england there is no law saying that children have to obay their pearents until a certain age at all

choose your own medical treatment -again in england children have this right similar to a right to sue or be sued, the only requirement is sufficent understanding.

The right to enter a contract -although a childs right to enter a contract is limited in england it is not compleatly illigal, but basically a child can enter into a contract which is nessesary for a person with his lifestyle and quality of life.

AND

"But I am just interested in finding out if you can be emancipated by you're parents in England."

A 16 or 17 year old minor can be emancipated in England by;

a) Marriage. (Parental consent required)
b) Enlistment in the Armed Forces. (Parental consent required)
c) Court order. A court will order a minor emancipated only if he (or she) is able to prove that she is *entirely* economically self-sufficient (ie *NO* assistance from anyone, even in the form of "you can live here for free), is emotionally capable of living alone, and has a home environment which is "entirely unsuitable".

If the home is suitable, then the court will not order even the wealthiest and most mature 17 year old emancipated, and if the first two criteria are not met but the home is unsuitable the minor will be sent to the care of another adult.

thanks
