Note the following: We have rendered the words ho Theos at Genesis 1:1 as 'The God,' not just 'God,' as is found in most Bibles. Recognize that throughout the Bible there is usually a 'the' ('ho') preceding the Greek word for God (Theos) when it is speaking of the Almighty.
An emancipated minor is a child who has been granted the status of adulthood by a court order or other formal arrangement. This status is not automatically bestowed on minors who have simply moved away from their parents' homes, however.
A minor child sixteen years or older may petition the court through a parent, legal guardian, or guardian ad litem to become legally emancipated for all purposes. If the court finds that the minor child is financially independent of the parents, emancipation will likely be granted.
