Oregon Summons (Emancipation) is a legal process in Oregon that allows a minor aged 16 or 17 to become emancipated from their parents or legal guardians. This process allows a minor to gain legal independence by assuming the rights and responsibilities of an adult. The process is started by filing a petition in court and requires the minor to demonstrate that they are financially, emotionally, and physically ready for emancipation. There are two types of Oregon Summons (Emancipation): (1) Judicial Emancipation and (2) Statutory Emancipation. Judicial Emancipation requires the minor to prove that they are capable of caring for themselves and have the financial means to do so. Statutory Emancipation allows the minor to gain emancipation without having to prove their financial means or capability to care for themselves.
