Emancipation

Emancipation gives the minor greater autonomy by allowing them to accomplish acts they could not previously accomplish. Their capacity to act is increased and will be determined by whether they obtain simple or full emancipation.

Limitations of emancipation

A minor with simple or full emancipation MAY NOT:

  • vote;
  • be admitted to certain public places prohibited to people under 18;
  • receive benefits reserved for people over 18;
  • form a company or be a company director.

The minor also remains subject to the Youth Protection Act and the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
