Depending on what state you live in, the age for this below varies. You must be married, or You must be in the U.S. armed forces, or You must be living apart from your parents or guardian and be managing your own money, or The court must decide that an emancipation is in the best interests of you, or your parents, or your minor child (if you have one).

dictionary meaning- act of freeing: the act or process of setting somebody free or of freeing somebody from restrictions. Emancipation is a term used to describe various efforts to obtain political rights or equality, often for a specifically disenfranchised group, or more generally in discussion of such matters. Among others, Karl Marx and discussed political emancipation in his 1844 essay "On the Jewish Question", although often in addition to (or in contrast with) the term human emancipation. Marx's views of political emancipation in this work were summarized by one writer as entailing "equal status of individual citizens in relation to the state, equality before the law, regardless of religion, property, or other "private" characteristics of individual persons."[1] "Political emancipation" as a phrase is less common in modern usage, especially outside academic, foreign or activist contexts. However, similar concepts may be referred to by other terms. For instance, in the United States the Civil Rights Movement culminating in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, can be seen as further realization of events such as the Emancipation Proclamation and abolition of slavery a century earlier.
