Answer:

An emancipation order ends certain rights and responsibilities between parents and the emancipated minor. This includes financial support for education. Therefore, if you choose to become emancipated, you will likely no longer receive financial assistance from your stepfather for your education.

According to Oregon law, specifically ORS 419B.552, emancipation terminates the obligations of a stepparent to provide financial support for a minor's education.
