Answer 1

What are some of the general rules on how to get emancipated in Wisconsin?

# The child must be a resident of Wisconsin

# The child has to be at least 16 years of age

# The child must be living separate and apart from the parents or guardian

# The child must be capable of supporting himself or herself financially and managing his or her own affairs

# Each parent or guardian must consent (although there are certain exceptions)

# Not a ward of the state

Just because a child becomes emancipated there are still certain responsibilities the child must take care of themselves:

    * Cannot drink alcohol until the legal age in that state

    * Must attend school

    * Cannot get married unless he/she has parents permission

    * Cannot vote until the age of 18

    * Cannot purchase cigarettes or alcohol

    * Cannot purchase or possess firearms

f you want to get emancipated then go to the appropriate juvenile court to start the proceedings.  You probably be interviewed to make sure you understand the ramifications of emancipation.  If it is deemed that you are a candidate then a petition in juvenile court should be filed to start the process.

Once you are emancipated make sure you keep your papers with you at all times.  When things occur you might have to provide proof of emancipation!

Sounds like you better grow up and fast (meaning actually thoroughly research something instead of just jumping in, meaning not even knowing where the local courthouse is) have fun being an adult...sort of. :)

consult a phonebook.

Answer 3

The challenge most face is the ability to be self -supporting, ie finances and where will you live etc... Emancipation is usually granted for cause and often childrens services will assist.  

Answer 4

Being an adult is not a situation to take lightly.  Do some further research and figure out where things are in town if you're planning on being parent-less.

First seek legal advice from a lawyer. Then if you want he can do all the paper work for you. For a fee of course.
