Re: a girl that i know wants to move out

To become emancipated, she needs to show that she is responsible , has a job and can support herself. She also needs to ahow that she has been livintg somewhere else other than her parent's home. A pregnancy would also emanicpate her but I certainly do not recommend that as an avenue to emancipation.
