Line 9:
Depending on jurisdiction, a child may be emancipated by acts such as [[child marriage]], attaining economic self-sufficiency, obtaining an educational [[academic degree|degree]] or [[diploma]], or [[military service]]. In the United States, all states have some form of emancipation of minors.<ref>{{cite web |title=Emancipation of Minors |url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/emancipation_of_minors |website=Wex |publisher=Cornell Law School |access-date=24 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Emancipation |url=https://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-emancipation.htm |website=California Courts |access-date=24 September 2020}}</ref>
Even without a court proceeding, some jurisdictions will find a minor to be emancipated for purposes of making a decision in the absence of the minor's parents or guardians. For example, a child in most jurisdictions can enter into a binding contract to procure their own basic needs. However, when a child's needs are not provided by a parent, the child is often deemed a ward of the state and receives a court-appointed guardian.{{citation needed}}
