This form is used to officially document that a minor has been declared legally independent from their parents or guardians after a court hearing, meaning they can make their own decisions about money, medical care, and living arrangements. A young person (typically a teenager) who wants to live on their own and be legally treated as an adult would need this form, along with their parents or the court.
This form has fillable fields — you can complete it directly in the viewer on the right.
