State emancipation laws vary, but most state courts charge a filing fee of between $150 and $200. You must file the petition with the court and notify your parents or legal guardians (required by most states). Then the court will schedule a hearing.
The âDonât Tread on Meâ flag is a very important representation of American history. Nowadays, the United States is proud about its freedom â sometimes even stating that it is the freest country in the world.
