In New Hampshire there is no law or rule allowing a minor to seek emancipation. A child in NH is considered to be emancipated at the age of 18.

Can an 18 year old date a 16 year old in NH?

New Hampshires law follows this model—with a twist. It sets a hard age of consent at 13: Before then, all sex is illegal. It isnt illegal to engage in consensual non-penetrative sexual contact with an individual between ages 13 and 16 unless you are at least five years older than the younger person.
