[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who knows what happens if an 18 year old "emancipates" himself?  Would he get a better deal on his education loans/financial aid?  What would happen to health insurance?

(Goddammit, this country's stupid lack of infrastructure to support its #1 resource (smart, healthy people) makes me effin' crazy.)  [/quote]
I know, my DH spent a year trying to do this for financial reasons at the private university we attended. They won't let you emancipate yourself for financial aid purposes  until the age of 23. So maybe your snowflake could wait 5 years?[/quote]

Wow.  Appears you're right.  From some random web site:

"Warning

The court order for emancipation must be in effect at the time of your financial aid application for you to be considered emancipated. In addition, if you were over the age of 18 at the time of the court's decision, you will be considered a dependent student for financial aid purposes, even if your parents are not supporting you.
