statutory emancipation

statutory emancipation
A proceeding authorized by statute in some states whereby courts are empowered to remove the disabilities of an infant on a proper application and proof of his capacity. This is not a true emancipation, since its result is to remove the general disabilities of infancy, rather than the father's right to the child's services. 39 Am J1st P & C § 64.
