My response:

The process, simply, is to file a Petition for Emancipation in the Family Law Department of the Superior Court - - the very same court where divorces are heard.

You are given a hearing date by the Clerk of the Court, and all persons - - the minor, and both parents, testify why such Emancipation should take place. The judge makes a decision based upon the testimony, and if previously ordered, a psychologists report.

Your daughter better be fully aware that an Emancipation carries with it all of the good, and all of the bad, of being an adult, whether she's ready for it or not.

Emancipation is rarely granted; almost as rare as obtaining a license to carry a firearm.
