Well first of all I think you have to be 16 but google it to make sure.
And second, either your parents have to sign a paper saying you can be emancipated or you can take it to court.
but it hard becuase the judge has to make sure you have a good enough reason [abuse, neglect, ect.] and that you have a way to support yourself.
Or you can just go live with different relatives and have them be your gardien. much easier.

If you live in the US (and you didn’t state where you live)…

Obviously you don’t understand what emancipation is. A minor cannot get emancipated so that they can go live with someone else. That’s not what emancipation is.

*One* of the requirements for emancipation is the minor proves they earn enough money to fully support theirself—paying for rent, utilities, food, medical expenses, etc—completely on their own (which doesn’t mean moving in with someone else and depending on them to help you) and while remaining in school. Since child labor laws greatly restrict the number of hours that you can work, there’s no way you could do that, unless you happen to be a professional actor/athlete/musician/etc making *big* bucks (in which case, you’d be asking this question to your attorney and not on Yahoo). Also, you lack a valid reason for emancipation. The fact that you feel Dad's too strict/doesn't give you enough attention/etc are not valid reasons. And by the way, I’m only aware of one state that would even allow a 14-year-old to petition for emancipation (the others require that you be at least 16).

You don’t receive a check—your father receives a check. He doesn’t have to give you a penny of it. The purpose of the monies is to assist him in paying for your basic necessities of life—shelter, utilities, food, and so on. Sure, clothing is a basic necessity of life, but he’s free to purchase your clothing from yard sales or goodwill if he chooses to do so.

Unless Dad is abusing you--which has to be proven--or he agrees to allow you to go live with your sister, there’s nothing you can do.

You need to grow up. . Honestly, you sound like a spoiled brat. If it was an easy thing to do, we'd all be emancipated from our parents by now. Life isn't about throwing in the towel when it gets hard.

I could go and kill myself just because I'm tired of dealing with my depression, I could drop out of school because I didn't do so well on my last test, I could kill my father because he beat me for years. The list goes on and on. Suck it up and deal for a few more years! Save emancipation for someone who needs it, not so you can run away because your daddy won't buy you new clothes. The world does not revolve around you and money does not grow on trees, sorry honey, that's the way it is!!
Jeez

In states that offer emancipation for minors the minimum age is sixteen. If your situation is one of abuse and/or neglect you should contact the state social services for assistance. Or if you prefer you can call any of the following organizations for help, National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-392-3738, Youth Crisis and Runaway Hotline 1-800-448-4463, Youth Emergency Services Hotline 1-800-899-5437. You might also like to visit http://www.teenlineonline.org, an organization of teens helping teens with mutual problems. If you believe you are in physical danger contact your local police or 911 immediately!

ok, the only activity you will get at sixteen will pay minimum salary. what's that now, $7/hr? So in spite of in case you worked finished time after college and on weekends: for the time of the week: 5pm-1am. (good 8 hours shift) 5 days each and every week = 8hrs. x 5 days = 40 hrs each and every week. 40 hrs x $7/hr = $280 each and every week x 4 weeks in a month = $a million,a hundred and twenty in a month. appears like lots? Now for the subtraction: hire - 500 to six hundred/month vehicle - 200 to 3 hundred/month coverage - a hundred to 2 hundred/month telephone - 50/month Groceries - 200/month Utilities (easy, water, cable) - a hundred and fifty/month ok, permit's low ball it: 500+200+a hundred+50+200+a hundred and fifty= $a million,200 in costs a minimum of on $a million,a hundred and twenty in earnings AT maximum (taxes will very much decrease your earnings down.) you won't be able to help your self till you drop out of highschool. I mean, once I further costs, i did no longer even contain funds you will desire for college stuff. Stick it out, and once you bypass to college, get outta there and by no skill seem returned.

Sorry kid, you don't have grounds for emanicpation. IF you HAD grounds, you would need a plan in place, ie a place to go, how you were going to support yourself, etc. AND you would have to PROVE your parents were not acting in your best interest...not an easy thing to do. Even if you could afford an attorney to help you with this case, it doesn't sound like to me you have grounds to prove your parents are not acting in your best interest...ie you have a home...clothes...etc. If you want him to pay attention to him, why don't you stop asking for stuff and start asking him questions about himself...show some interest in him instead of it all being all about you. Also...what good thing did you do? Your grammar is terrible and I'd say you probably don't get good grades in school. If you aren't doing your job by learning in school, why should he be thrilled with you??? Wake up kid.

1st, do a websearch on emancipation and be sure to include your state so the laws apply to you. Do your research. A lawyer may or may not talk to you (how would you pay?), but at least you can be pointed in the right direction.

Good luck.

You won't find a judge who would emancipate you at 14 years old. I hope he's strict about you going to school because you need to learn the English language.

You need to talk, to your Dad about that. You are underage, and as long as your Dad puts a roof, over your head and feeds you. You can not take care of yourself. You are under age. When you turn 18 and can take care of yourself, then I am sure you Dad, won't try to keep you with him, and then you can go.

Believe me, you may want to stay right where you are. Most young people do, they are so fast in saying they want to be grown, so they can do this and that and end up going right back home with their parents or parent.

Just my opinion, don't hate me for it, but ...
I believe you are still a child, and children throw tantrums when they don't get what they want because they cannot see the whole picture. Your still growing up.

Also, $600 a month is not enough money to make it on your own. I doubt that you could get a good job at your age.
