A 4-page paper with 1-page presentation on California laws and how they affect emancipated minors. The paper posits that, in a state with so many emancipated actors, the laws support emancipation, but do not aid emancipated minors in dealing with lifeÂ’s responsibilities. For example, restrictions remain in effect that apply to age of consent for health care, consent for marriage under the age of 18, emancipated or not, and to other issues like driverÂ’s licenses necessary for general freedoms, like the freedom to go grocery shopping.
