California:
"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. "
Cost of living varies wildly in CA, it's impossible to estimate your living expenses without knowing the city. For a real rough estimate, look in the want ads for rentals -- whatever the rent is, figure at least that much for other expenses.

schazjmd has it correct. If you cannot prove that you have an income (can be a trust fund, interest income or job) that you are capable of supporting yourself with you don't even stand a chance.
If you only want to get emancipated from your parents so you can move in with your boyfriend that won't cut it.
