In Tennessee is a 17 year old automatically emancipated when they graduate high school?

In Tennessee, a 17-year-old is not automatically emancipated upon graduating high school. Emancipation is a legal process that requires a minor to petition the court for it, demonstrating the ability to support themselves and manage their affairs. Graduating from high school does not grant automatic legal independence; the individual must still meet the criteria set by the court for emancipation.
