I am 15, i live in connecticut and my parents are divorced. my father has his mother living with him and i dont want to live with him. i hate my mother, and i dont want to live with her anymore [there is joint custody with her and my father but i spend most of the time with her and my father pays child support to her] im very close to my aunt who lives like 5 minutes away. when i turn 16 is there anyway that i can move out of my moms house and move into my aunts, and my mom would have to pay child support to my aunt?. would i have to get a court ruling or something?

Have you talked to your parents about moving with your aunt? Have you talked to your aunt? This is what you may need to do first. You never know, you might be able to just get them to agree WITHOUT involving the courts. Give it a try and see what happens. If all else fails, it's really not THAT hard to get emancipated, but you do lose your parental support unless they volunteer to still help you. They are no longer obligated to provide for you, financially or any other sorts. That's what emancipation is. You are legally an adult and adults take care of themselves. LOL. You could, however, ask your parents to release guardianship(temporarily, until you turn 18) to your aunt. It's just a paper and a hearing, if necessary.

There are several people who would have to vote "yes" on this: Mom, Dad, Aunt, the Court. You could petition for emancipation, but then you'd lose your support. This is a situation where you don't want to go around making enemies. Stay away from the blame game and keep calm, and talk first to the adult who is most apt to listen to you and what you want. Avoid a fight at all costs. See if you can make this happen without getting the court involved---such as just staying with your aunt for awhile to see how it works out. Be smart about this and think ahead as much as you can.

Only way to do this is petition the courts. You need a really good reason to get permission to do this.
