Answer:
Marriage – A child can marry before 18 and be considered a legal adult, this requires parental consent or a court order granting the marriage license
Self-Support – Moving out of a parent’s home and becoming self-supporting will impliedly emancipate the child, if the parent doesn’t try to get the child back to the home
Court Order – A minor can petition the court for emancipation and, possibly, be granted it by court order
