A: You do not 'separate' from your parents - you either move out voluntarily or you get kicked out. Typically and normally you'd simply choose to get a job and / or go to college and move out of your parents house and begin your adult life on your own. You are an adult at 18 and do not need your parents permission or consent to move out, so at age 20 - emancipation is moot. Best of luck.
