to declare someone unemancipated Explanation: Good reference: As stated earlier, a minor may ask a court to declare him or her emancipated but, as shown above, court action is often unnecessary for the minor to get what he or she wants. A minor may petition a court to confirm his or her emancipated status by either submitting a "Petition for Emancipation" or by filing a "Complaint For Declaratory Judgment On Plaintiff's Emancipation Status." A minor should get legal assistance when asking a court for a judicial decree of emancipation. A hearing will be held on any request for emancipation, so the court can get the information necessary to decide if the minor should be declared emancipated. Information given to the court at the hearing should include facts showing: whether the minor is living with his or her parents or guardians; whether the minor is dependent on his or her parents for financial support; whether the parents and the minor intend for the minor to be independent; whether the parents are actually exercising control and authority over the minor; and whether the minor can financially support him or herself. For example, a 13-year-old who wants to leave home is not likely to be declared emancipated because he or she cannot support him/herself. In effect, the minor child must already be living independently for a court to determine that the child is emancipated. Parents or guardians of a minor emancipated by court order, are no longer required to give the minor any financial support. This means they do not have to provide food, housing, clothing or any other assistance to the minor. http://www.nwls.org/emancipation_of_minors.htm ... age of 21 and marries someone under the age of 21 ... are very likely to declare the child emancipated.

Declared/considered/determined/deemed Explanation: I don't think there's a direct translation of 'verklaren' here. But the sentence means that Peter has been determined to be a minor (by a court order perhaps) and is consequently being placed underguardianship. I would suggest something like: On 19 Novermber in Olst Peter will be (officially) deemed to be/ declared to a minor, and placed under (a) guardianship (order), by request of his mother (or by his mother's request). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-09 09:41:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To be declared a minor |
