I'm 17 and Tired of My Messed Up Family - Can I Get an Emancipation?

[Brittlynn7]

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: arizona

I have alot of family problems because not only am i adopted and my adoptive father is a heart patient my mother is the man of the house. We are constantly always fighting and it usually results in me packing bags to run away, cutting or hurting myself, or thinking suicide. My mother doesn't take me seriously and says I'm just playing the "drama and i want my way" card or i just don't like her rules which is not true. I'm mature for my age and I am now in employment again after moving in with my sister for awhile because life and schooling was so bad. My parents don't abuse me they just don't understand me at ALL. I will be a senior this year and i could find a house close to the school. Is it possible for me to get an emancipation AGAINST my parents wishes?

Start here.

Alright so your saying I would have to already be living on my own but how can I support myself and already be on my own if I can't get consent from my parents? So basically I'm stuck in a household that could be dangerous to my own health? What would I have to do to have a chance at emancipation at least a little bit?

If there is abuse in your home as you suggest with your "dangerous" remark contact CPS. The nationa Hotline is 1-800-4-A-CHILD

You should take the time, as instructed, to look up the specific laws for your state.
