Oregon Emancipation
Emancipation is the legal process by which a juvenile can petition the court to be treated, in most instances, as a legal adult. If you are a minor considering emancipation, you should contact an attorney to discuss the matter. While many teenagers are excited by the prospect of heading out into the world on their own before they reach 18 years of age, filing for emancipation can have some serious legal and practical consequences which should be discussed with an attorney.
