in Arizona- a person under the age of 21 can not rent a car. a parent has to co-sign. I am hoping that your state is better. Remember- to be declared an adult -you have to legally uphold that contract. If you default on the business or those contracts-you can be held in a very adult jail or prison.***there is no emancipation status for those two states***

I'm not sure about Tennessee or Kentucky, however, Florida doesnt really recognize it. I got married at 16(had to be emacipated first, of course), yet I couldn't even rent an apartment, because they said that underage minors couldnt enter into a legal contract. Even after I produced a marriage license, the answer was still no. I've also found that with most car rental companies, they refuse to let me rent a car under 21. They didnt recognize I could raise 2 kids, be married for almost 5 years, and support a husband deployed with the Army. Most states wont recognized people under 18 as "adults" unless there's a co-signer that's over 21 participating in the deal.

Yes!! That is the reasoning of the Emancipation Proclamation. The following site, if you click on Tennessee, will give a case, not like yours, but it has some of the laws listed in it.

Other searches will give you more information also.

Yes, the emancipation allows thr minor to act as their own guardian so they can sign rent contracts, ect....
