Here are some general points regarding emancipation in New Jersey: In some states, children may be automatically emancipated by law at the age of 18 â in New Jersey this is not the case. Children may become emancipated when they become pregnant or have a baby. Emancipation may be delayed when a child is enrolled in full-time college or university studies. An emancipated minor is not a factor for parents applying for financial aid for the childâs siblings.
Statutes vary considerably from state to state, but under common law most states allow for the possibility of court-reviewed emancipation. No fixed age of emancipation exists, yet a minor is presumed to become emancipated upon reaching the age of majority. In most states, the age of majority is 18. If a state does not have a specific emancipation statute or even a procedural rule, the court may act as the primary arbiter of cases involving a minor's claim to emancipated legal status. Emancipation on the basis of judicial decree requires a petition. The petitioner is typically one of three kinds of legal personage: a minor, a parent of a minor or a next friend/guardian ad litem. Most states require that adults petition the court, although emancipation is a right extended to children.
