Stuck in Problems at Home in Washington

[wiken_sakura]

ok. i followed the adivice of a person on here by filing a cps report. now i am in a sore spot, my mom was threating to throw me out which is illeagal at my age, now she wants me to "get the hell out or i'll make you leave!!!"
the problem is this has happened before and when i left the house she reported me as a run away... i am not yet 16 won't be till januray but i need to get out. the cps worker won't do anything about because my mom is a paralegal and has sole custody of my younger brother.

What can i do???

These are still CPS issues and you should be talking to thye CPS worker dealing with the case. If you ar thrown out call Police right away tell them your Mother threw you out. Being a paralegal does not exempt here from the law.

Under Washington's emancipation laws, anybody aged 16 or older can petition for emancipation.

(1) A petition for emancipation shall be signed and verified by the petitioner, and shall include the following information: (a) The full name of the petitioner, the petitioner's birthdate, and the state and county of birth; (b) a certified copy of the petitioner's birth certificate; (c) the name and last known address of the petitioner's parent or parents, guardian, or custodian; (d) the petitioner's present address, and length of residence at that address; (e) a declaration by the petitioner indicating that he or she has the ability to manage his or her financial affairs, including any supporting information; and (f) a declaration by the petitioner indicating that he or she has the ability to manage his or her personal, social, educational, and nonfinancial affairs, including any supporting information.

(2) Fees for this section are set under RCW 36.18.014.

The petitioner must prove at a hearing by "clear and convincing evidence: (a) That the petitioner is sixteen years of age or older; (b) that the petitioner is a resident of the state; (c) that the petitioner has the ability to manage his or her financial affairs; and (d) that the petitioner has the ability to manage his or her personal, social, educational, and nonfinancial affairs." RCW 13.64.050.

How long it takes? Assuming you qualify, that will depend on how busy the court is where you file your petition.
