I've been living on my own since i was 16, not emancipated but my mom gave me permission to move out. I fully support myself, i have 2 jobs and have reached a point where i'm doing really really well. But it took me a little bit to get here, it's very hard in the beginning. I'm 17 now. Look up emancipation in your state on the internet, but once you have all the information...think long and hard about EVERYTHING that being an adult entails and what you'll be responsible for. Don't think of this as a way to get away from your dad...think of all that will be placed on your shoulders when you go through with it.

Answer 5

You would have to go to family court. Go to the courthouse and speak to someone there and they will tell you what forms need to be filed. I don't think it would cost anything...you may even get a court appointed attorney (I would ask).
At the hearing it is your responsibility to convince the judge that it is in your best interests to be emancipated. The court will consider the following:

your wishes and your parents’ opinion regarding emancipation
your financial situation and whether you are independent from your parents – proof of employment or other means of support, including housing and health care
your education and success at school
whether you have a criminal record
whether you understand the risks of emancipation
You must also show that you have either been living on your own for three consecutive months, or why living at home is not a healthy or safe environment, or provide written consent for emancipation from your parents or guardian.

Answer 6

You can't divorce your children. Emancipation is a procedure to allow a child to deal with his own financial affairs, not a license to the parents to abandon their obligations of support & care. If you want the kid to live somewhere else you have to work out the arrangements with the other people. You will still beresponsible for its support, school attendance, medical care, etc. Note, many school districts will require a court order to change the assigned school.

Answer 7

Immancipation is a little trickier than just saying the kid wants out of the control of his parents. He would have to prove that he has the financial capacity and mental maturity to provide for his own care and education and that usually requires a little more than a part time job at a fast food restaurant.

If he is being abused, it needs to be reported to Child Protective Services. If the mother wants to stay with a man that is physically abusing her child then she needs to seek some counseling herself.

Any family court I could think of, would remove the child from the abusive environment and place in foster-care. If there are people that will provide a place for him, they could try to get certified to provide that foster care.

Answer 8

What horrid parents! Contact Social Services and see about being placed in foster care until age 18 so the teen can at least finish high school before having to go out into the world and be self-supporting.

No child should have to be pushed into adulthood to get away from an physically abusive father because her emotionally abusive mother wants her out of the house so she can stay with her husband!

Answer 9

That's a messed up situation.

I would start by hiring someone to go kick the living sh** out of the abusive father (or do it myself).

Then tell him - get a f**king job, and you WILL pay support to your child until they turn 18. Missed payments will result in missing teeth.

If he harasses her in any way, he'll be drinking his dinner through a straw.

Answer 10

Uh you cant. I have two suggestions that may actually work. Either the mother can stop thinking of herself because this will just hurt her child in the long run, or they could set up the father or kill him. Either way you cant always have what you want when you want it.
