Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Emancipation usually means that a minor is legally responsible for their decisions and contracts they make. However, emancipation does not usually affect the minor's right to disaffirm a contract before they reach the age of majority. In most states, the age of majority is 18 years old. Once the minor turns 18, they can choose to disaffirm a contract made while they were a minor. Once the minor reaches the age of majority, they no longer have the right to disaffirm a contract.
