1DissentRovira, Justice

I respectfully dissent.

I agree with and support the view expressed by Van Cise, J., in his dissent In re the Marriage of Robinson, Colo.App., 601 P.2d 358 (1979).

In my view, a 19-year-old man who lives apart from his parents, earns $300 per week, and is entirely self-supporting is, as a matter of law, emancipated.

The findings of the trial court were well supported by the evidence. I would reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals.
