Most people think of emancipation as the legal process someone under 18 years of age (a minor) goes through to get the legal status of an adult. A minor child may be emancipated for a specific purpose. It is important to remember that a minor child is never completely emancipated. An emancipated minor will always face some limits. For example, a 16 year old may be emancipated for the specific purpose of giving medical consent but is not permitted to vote or purchase alcohol.
