My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Arizona.
My parents and i fight non stop no matter how hard i try to stop it they keep going. Since i've been dating my boyfriend his family has taken me in as much as possible and i'm there practically everyday. When i'm at his house i'm the happiest and hardly ever stressed out.
I would love to live with my boyfriend for a while in hopes of giving my parents and i breathing room and hoping that after a while i could move back in with my parents. (they are divorced have joint custody and i'm getting sick of that too) but my relationships at home are not healthy and are not ok.
I know i dont have a strong case but my mom won't let me move out temporarily and i strongly believe that some breathing time would REALLY help out my realationship with my parents. i plan on getting a job while living with my boyfriend's family and finding a way to hopefully obtain a car and pay for everything i can but i'd be living in his parents house with some help from them. like food and shelter.
i know theres such thing as partial emancipation and you can get out of emancipation after a while and thats what i want. just something temporary because my mom already said she'd call the cops if i left. but i really need a way out. being home is never a pleasurable experience and i'm done with it. help? :(

If mom won't let you, that's the end of it. Period.
Of course you aren't "stressed out" at your boyfriend's house; your boyfriend's parents have no responsibility for you.
How old are you, anyway? 13, as your screen name suggests? -

As long as you are under 18, if your mom says you don't leave, then you don't leave. Period. There is no law and no "partial emancipation" so-called, that is going to force your mother to allow you to move out if she doesn't want you to.
And you can't really believe that any judge is going to emancipate you to live with your boyfriend or his family. If you do, you are FAR too immature to be on your own. -

This isn't even worth considering.
No judge in any jurisdiction is going to emancipate you against your parents wishes because you feel "happier" at your boyfriend's house.
See, that's how minors find themselves parents.
Time for plan B. -

A judge is not going to emancipate you so you can go and live with your boyfriend and his parents.

I've been trying to make things work at home and no matter what i do nothing works. It's constant fighting and tension and now my mother is making me move away from where i've lived my whole life and i don't want to move. I know I dont have a strong case but I need a way out. And I'm mature enough that i can hold my own when my mother isn't watching over me. I'm constantly around older people and the way I think, talk, act, ect... everyone thinks I'm older then I really am. I'm mature enough i'm just not going to be making enough money on my own for a while...
but why can't I let others help support me? I'm still finding a way to live on my own. Thats like saying the government can't give out well fare checks because those people can't live on their own without financial aid from someone else. How does that work? -

Hon you're not getting it.
You cannot live on your own without your parents' permission. Period. Even if.
There isn't a judge in the country who will emancipate you. -
05-29-2010, 03:26 PMLovesYou13Re: Halp with a Casr for Emancipation
what if i have a job and make money to where i could live on my own but chose to live with someone else?

I'm not sure which part of "it's not going to happen" is so difficult to understand?
Are you able to pay for rent, utilities, health insurance, food, stay in school and fully support yourself?
Not. Going. To. Happen.
Emancipation is for those teens who, through no fault of their own (parents died in a car wreck, for example), find themselves in a position where they need the legal ability to sign up for utilities, sign a lease, get medical care etc.
Or, the likes of Macauley Culkin and Miley Cyrus. It's NOT for teens who are just plain old miserable at home.
It's not going to happen. -

The REAL crux of the story.
Your mean old mommy is making you move away from your boyfriend and you don't want to move.
You think that you should, instead, shack up with your current boyfriend and live under his parents' roof.
NOT A REASON FOR EMANCIPATION.
I am really mature and will have a job someday.Quote:

You will not be emancipated so that you can collect money from the government.Quote:

You can't let others support you because you already have someone legally liable for that support. Further, what happens when you and boyfriend break up?
You don't understand this... you can stomp your foot all you want. You can scream that it isn't fair until you are blue in the face.
You can continue to make your mom feel like crap because she is moving you away from the "love of your life".
NONE OF IT MATTERS.
Emancipation is for children that NEED it... not that WANT it. Children that MUST have it to survive.
No, a broken heart cause you have to move away doesn't count.
You had best go apologize to your mother and start packing. -

im not saying i'd live off the government. im saying others do. what im saying is i want to get a job pay for all my own things and then move out in less then 2 years. and it is possible to make enough money to live on my own. i could easily go work for my boyfriend and make $25 an hour. and emancipation from what i read is for anyone under 18 or 19 who can support themselves.

You're still not getting it.
A judge is NOT going to emancipate you so that you can live with your boyfriend. Even if.
A judge is much too smart than to miss the fact that if you are "working" for your boyfriend and getting paid $25 an hour, what is REALLY happening is that your boyfriend is supporting you.
Emancipation is NOT for "anyone under 18 who can support themselves". It is for those minors who have a VALID NEED for emancipation and have ALREADY demonstrated their ability to support themselves.
You do NOT have a valid need for emancipation and you have NOT demonstrated your ability to support yourself.
You. Are. Not. Going. To. Be. Emancipated.
Get used to it.
