my boyfriends mother is verbally and mentally abusive and i was wondering what some specific laws for emanciption in the state of texas i should b aware of so i can be succsessful in encouraging him to get out of that situation by showing him facts and a plan.
How old is he? In Texas it makes a difference. As you would know if you had read the stickies as instructed.
BTW, "verbally and mentally abusive" is almost never a valid reason for emancipation, EVEN IF he meets the other qualifications.
Read the stickied threads. - the ones you were instructed to read before posting.
he is 16 and it also physical. he doesn't feel its a big deal but i do.
Not to sound mean, but the courts won't care what YOU think.
Did you read the stickies, or are you just going to stomp your foot and argue?
yes i read them and yes i am aware that the courts do not care what i think. Also i am not a typical teen i shall sit and listen to what is said and consider my options in this situation. Plus I know that arguing with people that know more about a subject than i do is completely illogical so what would be the purpose of doing it?
If the child is being abused, child protective services needs to be involved.
ok but i am curious as to which would b easier to do and honestly less painful because, although child protective services might take him out of his situation he would then b placed in a foster home till he turns 18 correct?
Very possibly, yes.
Seriously - emancipation is NOT an option for this child.
Either he's being abused and thus needs to be removed from the home...or he isn't.
okay. In all honesty what would be a definite reason to be emancipated because as far as I have read your reason cannot be just because nor abuse?
