California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Alameda County v. Kaiser, 238 Cal.App.2d 815, 48 Cal.Rptr. 343 (Cal. App. 1965):
Does 'emancipation' of a minor by agreement with his mother relieve her of liability for his support? Does a recent decision (Dept. of Mental Hygiene v. Kirchner, 60 Cal.2d 716, 36 Cal.Rptr. 488, 388 P.2d 720) bar recovery from her by the county for his treatment,[238 Cal.App.2d 816] in a county hospital, for physical ailments? These are the questions on this appeal.
