Sec. 46b-150b. Order of emancipation. If the Superior Court or the Probate
Court, after hearing, finds that: (1) The minor has entered into a valid marriage, whether
or not that marriage has been terminated by dissolution; or (2) the minor is on active
duty with any of the armed forces of the United States of America; or (3) the minor
willingly lives separate and apart from his parents or guardian, with or without the
consent of the parents or guardian, and that the minor is managing his own financial
affairs, regardless of the source of any lawful income; or (4) for good cause shown, it
is in the best interest of the minor, any child of the minor or the parents or guardian of
the minor, the court may enter an order declaring that the minor is emancipated.
(P.A. 79-397, S. 3; P.A. 80-283, S. 1; P.A. 95-225, S. 28; P.A. 98-219, S. 10.)
History: P.A. 80-283 replaced Subdiv. (4) which had allowed emancipation order on basis of facts demonstrating
irretrievable breakdown of parent-child relationship with new provision; P.A. 95-225 amended Subdiv. (4) to replace "in
the best interest of either or both parties" with "in the best interest of the minor, any child of the minor or the parents or
guardian of the minor"; P.A. 98-219 replaced "court" with "Superior Court or the Probate Court".
