A minor is emancipated at age 18 because it is no longer a minor but an adult. An emancipated minor must be under 18 or incapacitated by physical or mental handicaps ( over 18) or be recognized as emancipated ( i.e sole parent of own child& /or self supporting) if under 18. Pm me if you want - I worked in family court for ages...
