Wisconsin Emancipation Help

[deejay18]

What is the Wisconsin Law for Emancipation? I was just wondering because I am sick and tired of my mother and her boyfriend treating me like a dog. Yeah, they've never beaten me, but they do everything in their power to try to make my life a living hell. Theyve sent me to a psycho hospital twice for reasons that are uncalled for and called the cops on me because I wasnt home on time. They ground me for the stupidest reasons such as not cleaning out the microwave, or being 2 minutes late of their curfew. Everything is building up on me and I am just getting so disgusted and angry inside. My girlfriend and her family are also sick of it and really wish they could do somehting for me..my dad and my grandma are also. I am so responsible and such a great kid and they NEVER appreciate ANYTHING i do for them. I get such great grades also and still, they never trust me with anything. I am sick of my mom's boyfriend and her...I just want to scream at them and tell me my feelings..but if I scream they will ground me, and they never understand me anyway. I am not aloud to see my father, even though he does have visitation rights, and i haven't been to a doctor/dentist/eyedoctor in 3-5 years. They don't do anything...never feed me..they expect me to fend for myself. They never get clothes from them nor school supplies or ANY bit of respect. My grandma buys all my brother everything, but i feel too guilty to make her buy me anything because she is in debt. I would be SO much better without them, they just bring me down in my life. there is so much more bad things to say, but if i did that, I'd be here ALL day. So please help me do something. Thanks.

Wisconsin has this statute:

Except for minors found to be incompetent, upon marriage, a minor shall no longer be a proper subject for guardianship of the person and a guardianship of the person is revoked by the marriage of a minor ward. Upon application, the court may release in whole or in part the estate of a minor ward to the ward upon the ward's marriage. Upon marriage, the guardianship of an incompetent is subject to review under s. 880.34.

Consistent with that statute, there is case law suggesting that it is possible to emancipate through lawful marriage, or also through active duty service in the armed forces. Niesen v. Niesen, 38 Wis. 2d 599; 157 N.W.2d 660 (1968)

ok, I don't really understand this. so you're saying I can solve my problem by getting married? I really want out..High School years are supposed to be your best, and they are turning out to be the worst. Yeah, when I'm 18, i get out, but then all you're fun times are over already because my parents will ruin them all. Isnt there someone I could talk to to help me? this is getting ridiculous. I would love to live with my grandma also, for one it would help her out and for 2, I would be in a MUCH better situation, but thing is I know my parents wouldnt let me do that because they like to see me suffer, they laugh at me when i get grounded. so please tell me something I can do.

Okay, your situation sounds just like mine. My mother also laughs at my strife. And puts on an act around other people so they don't think she or our relationship has a problem. Everything except the grandma being in debt.

I have been on this site searching for advice, and I got the same reply about getting married to achieve emancipation. That's fine and dandy, and I have a girlfriend and we talk about marriage, but she isn't ready to leave home. She doesn't have any money saved like I do and she has a home life exponentially better than mine. I have decided that there is no free help, and I am going to talk to a lawyer about the laws in wisconsin and what I can do to help myself.

If you would like me to email you with the information I obtain from my attorney, just email me at ksutton1@gmail.com and I would be glad to forward it over to you.

Stay Strong,
