no.
You have to already be out on your own for 6 months (in some states a year) to even be able to file for emancipation. You have to be doing EVERYTHING on your own. Including maintaining straight A's in school.
You can't be rented to legally, until you are 18 - or emancipated, and you can't live with other people - not even friends - during your 6 to 12 month period waiting to get emancipated...so you are screwed there. You also can't enter into any type of contract - such as a home purchase (which, btw your choice is laughable - there are people much older than you that can't afford what you have chosen) at your age.
You can not afford everything you will need on 6.55 an hour, part time. You couldn't even afford the security deposit - what about utilities, food, clothing, furnishings - etc...you have no real plan in place at all.
If you want to be emancipated, you can't take anything from your parent's house with you - not even the clothes.
Judges and parents aren't being "asses" about it - you are not old enough to understand what being in charge of your life truly entails.
Live with the rules in your parent's home - they are there for you to learn from...and to make you ready for the real world.

How are you going to buy the house?? At 16 no one is going to give you a mortage, you have no credit score and you would need 7k for a down payment MINIMUM, and preferably 14K, 20% of the cost of the house especially to get the 330 monthly payment. You also need money for taxes and insurance, so figure your payment is going to be about 550 a month. You may also need deposits to have the utilities turned on in your name, though if you have a cell phone at least that won't be a problem.
At least you are planning, but if you really have to leave, do you have friends or relative you could live with for while. You might do better living as cheaply as you can until you finish school and can work full time,

I'm not sure of exactly what your plans are. You say you found a home, are you planning to buy this home? If you are saving for a car now and you're making 6.55 an hour, how are you going to afford to make house payments, insurance payments, electric bill, groceries, etc? Other than being stubborn, what are the problems with your parents?Would it not be better to finish school and then go out on your own? You're so close to being an adult, couldn't you sweat it out for another year or two?

Life is hard - it gets harder. But don't throw away the best years of your life.
Right now the best you can do for yourself is to stay away from the family as much as possible. Whether it is at work, school, the library, a friends's house, or in your room - it is time to cool off. Find an outlet for your frustration like sports, ROTC, or weight training; besides, it will occupy your time.
Food, insurance, gas, heat, lights, etc. are more than you can pay for at this time. You would be on food stamps.
Isn't there one parent you can talk to at all? See a school guidance counselor. get religion (not my thing but works for some) and talk to the minister about your situation.
Good luck; actually life gets better.

Dude, rethink it. You CANNOT live on 6.55 an hour. You need food, rent, and there will be no way you could afford a car when you need all of that. The bills add up. Then there's doctor bills, taxes, and a thousand other things that I'm forgetting. If your parents want to shack you up until you're 18, let them, and enjoy the free ride

All other crap aside. save your money. don't get a car. Ride your bike or walk. Gas and insurance ad up fast as well as repairs.
first I hope you are as cool as you sound and have defunct parents but if your just trying to leave home to be a kid on your own you'll find out the hard way it aint no picnic.
I was on mu own at 14 because my parents died. I am now 36 and I wish I could have had a lot more time with my parents.
whats the story behind your situation. I will talk more if you want send me an email.

You have to have a reason to be emancupated, and the fact that your parents are stubborn, is not a good enough reason. I don't think you know how hard it is to live and pay bills. You have to pay rent, utilities(gas, elec, water, sewer) phone, groceries, up keep on a car, insurance,( both medical, and auto) entertainment( it costs to have fun) clothing, laundry. Oh those are just a few of the things you will have to pay. Plus when your life sucks, you won't have anyone to blame but yourself, you won't be able to move back in with the stupid, stubborn parents.

You're going to buy a $70,000 house on $6.50 an hour and less than 40 hours a week at that!!! Dream on kiddie. You got a LOOOOOONNNG way to go to be able to do that, unless someone has left you a bundle of money. Honey, there are people who have worked for 20 or 30 years who can't buy a house. Grow up.

Be strong! 8 months sounds like a long time
I don't know, but google and wiki probably do. You can also talk to your school counselor about it
