Best Answer

A divorce is the legal dissolution of a legal marriage.

In some places there are laws that allow a minor to legally separate from the control of their parents. It is called emancipation. In most cases the minor has to be at least 16 and be able to show that they have the ability to take care of themselves both mentally and financially. About half the states have statutes that permit emancipation.
