Re: Do I Need Emancipation
No.
It's not going to happen.
Are they truly willing, or do they know - which is my suspicion - that there is no way you can live on your own legally hence you're moving with them whether you like it or not?
Re: Do I Need Emancipation
They are truly willing, because if we do move, I will be forced to go to a boarding school rather than live with them, and neither of us really like that idea. So even with consent, there's no way I can live without a parent/guardian?

Read the stickies at the top of this forum. Can you support yourself at age 14? Of course not.

Yes, that's correct.
So, why would you be "forced" to go to a boarding school versus moving with your parents?
Re: Do I Need Emancipation
I would be forced to go to a boarding school, because my parents would be going to a politically unstable country, where it could be dangerous for me to live/go to school
Re: Do I Need Emancipation
There is only one state that will even consider emancipating a 14 year old; that state is not NY; even in the one state that will consider it, you'd better be either a nationally recognized athlete or spend your spare time as an extra in the Harry Potter movies.
Emancipation at 14 Will. Not. Happen.
Re: Do I Need Emancipation
I saw in another thread that cbg replied to, he said that you can live independently without emancipation with your parents/guardians permission, does that apply from only a certain age? Would it be possible to do at 14?
Re: Do I Need Emancipation
If the authorities were to get wind of a 14 year old living on her own, she would be in a foster home and her parents facing charges of child neglect in about six seconds flat.
Re: Do I Need Emancipation
1st of all, I'm a guy, so maybe that could be different, at what age do you think I could live independantly
Re: Do I Need Emancipation
No, it does not make any difference.
There are only so many ways to say this. I'm going to try this one more time. Do you suffer from reading comprehension problems?
There are NO. CIRCUMSTANCES. WHATSOEVER. under which the law is going to allow a 14 year old, male, female, or neuter gender, to live by themselves, with or without parental permission.
The EARLIEST at which the law in your state will even CONSIDER allowing you to live independently is 16, and even then it's questionable and very, VERY situation specific.
