Answer:
There is no statute for self-emancipation in Kentucky, which allows a minor to petition for emancipation. There are limited instances in which a minor is considered emancipated for certain purposes, such as those involving child support or medical care. Otherwise, emancipation
is a determination for the court, based on all the facts and circumstances in each case. However, the courts have found parents to remain liable for torts of an emancipated minor, such as a car accident, despite the emancipated status of the minor.
