Answer 1

at 16 I don't think theres anything you can do, you're still a minor you'd have to wait till you're 18

Answer 2

I think you should look into how to become EMANCIPATED. it is not an easy task to do. I did it when I was 15. You have to prove the courts that you can maintain going to school and getting a proper education, while being self sufficiant at the same time. You must also prove to the courts that you are mature enough to be let loose into the real world without causing havoc, or becoming a stastic of poverty, and unemployment. Just judging from the question your asking tells me you are not ready for all this. Be sure this is what you want, because if things don't happen according to your flawless plan, you shouldn't be able to run home to mom and dad!

Answer 3

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I would have some serious talks with your parents and tell them how you feel. Are they abusive? I mean really abusive, not just strict? Sounds like your relationship with them is pretty bad. Why? Can you get into family counseling and work out your problems? If that doesn't work, depending on the state you live in you can be emancipated. You will need to talk to the courts about that.

Answer 4

You are 16-years-old and still a child! You can't disown your parents, because they're the ones who brought you onto this planet and they're still legally responsible for you! You need to work something out with your parents and GROW UP!

What are the requirements for a judicial declaration of emancipation?

* You must be at least fourteen years old.
* You must be living apart from your parents with their consent or acquiescence.
* You must be managing your finances and have a legal source of income.
* The judge must find that emancipation is in your best interests.
* The judge also wants to see that you are in school or have a GED.

What are the new rights that I get if I become emancipated?

* Live where you choose.
* Sign binding contracts.
* Bring a law suit.
* Keep your own earnings.
* Get a work permit without parental consent.
* Enroll yourself in school.
* Consent to your own medical, dental, and psychiatric care.
* Stay out as late as you want.

What are the new responsibilities I will have if I get emancipated?

* Support yourself financially.
* Get your own medical insurance.
* Pay all of your own bills.

What things won't change when I get emancipated?
* You must go to school until you graduate or turn eighteen.
* You cannot work as many hours as you want — child labor laws and work permit rules must be followed.
* You cannot get married without the consent of your parents.
* You cannot have sex — statutory rape laws make it illegal for anyone to have sex with a minor (the only time a minor can have legal sex is if s/he is married and s/he has sex with his/her spouse).
* You could be tried as an adult, in certain cases, if you commit a crime.
* You cannot drink alcohol until you turn twenty-one.
* You cannot vote until you turn eighteen.

Answer 6

Well, since you don't state your age, I would assume that you are close to 16. However, to paraphrase that one individual (and I believe it was Mark Twain), who said "When I was 14, I thought my parents were incredible idiots,....when I was 18, I thought they were very wise. It amazed me how much they learned in 4 years." Obviously that is tonge-in-cheek, but you might want to wait a while to think about moving out.

Basically, living on your own sounds exciting and "fun" (parties, etc.), but the reality of it is.....you have rent/electric/cable/food and other bills to pay. Even justifying it with roommates and saying "hey, they help pay the bills" doesn't always cover the bases, because you may have a situation where one of them can't, and alot of problems arise out of that.

So before emancipating your parents, you might want to look at your current situation (do you pay your parents rent, electricity, etc). Because if you don't....then you might want to "test" the waters to find out how much "fun" it is by offering to "rent" your room out as an apartment. Tell your parents you'll pay them to rent your room and you'll provide part of the bills. But they have to treat you like a tenant and respect your privacy.

That might give you a taste of what it's like living out on your own.

Answer 7

you need to get legally emanicaped (sp?)....u will need to have a job and at 16 that should be easy...you will need to show that you can remain in school and maintain good grades and provide a living for yourself.
