Answer:
In Wisconsin, a person is considered an adult at 18 years old. Emancipation allows a minor to gain legal independence from their parents or guardians before reaching that age. To be emancipated, you typically need to demonstrate that you can support yourself financially and manage your own affairs. It's important to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific requirements and process for emancipation in your situation.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
