The court received evidence and opinions from the participants. The court has determined by clear and convincing evidence that emancipation is in the best interest of the minor. The court finds that the petitioner is capable of assuming adult responsibilities and living independently. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: 1. 2. The minor is declared emancipated. As an emancipated minor, the minor may enter into contracts, buy and sell

property, sue or be sued, retain his or her own earnings, borrow money for any purpose (including for education), and obtain health care without parental consent. 3. The Petitioner is not considered an adult for purposes of the criminal laws of the

state or for specific constitutional and statutory age requirements regarding voting, use of alcoholic beverages, possession of tobacco or firearms, and other health and safety regulations relevant to the minor because of the minor's age. 4. This Order of Emancipation prospectively terminates parental responsibilities

based on the minor's status as a minor under the custody and control of a parent, guardian or custodian.
