I'm in Oregon and have checked out emancipation, I've decided to do it, but, this may seem as a dumb question, will it apply outside of Oregon? Oregon requires an ID for emancipated minors, will I need it in other states?
...and do you actually qualify to be emancipated by the State of Oregon?
Affirmative.
Please help us help others - emancipation is so very difficult to achieve, and we'd love for other minors to understand exactly how you're able to meet the requirements for your State!
It could help a LOT of teens :)
Well, okay, this is in Oregon. I got a lump some of cash from social security, so I started landscaping and making electric guitars I trade and sell on craigslist, I make good money so my parents helped me get an apartment. I called the juvenile court and got a application form from the intake counselor in charge of emancipation. I filled it out and stuff and have a preliminary hearing next week.
So can I move to another state?
If it makes it more interesting, I'm moving to start a commune with some comrades, we just started the planning though so I'm not certain it's going to kick off.
So you are currently earning enough (I'm not talking about the lump sum unless it runs to the hundreds of thousands, or millions) to afford market rent, utilities, food, clothing, health care, transportation, incidentals, sundry items.......AND you're still in school keeping good grades?
Yeah, last trimester I had 3.something (GPA), I have all A's except one F this'n, but the trimester just started last week, I have the F because I was gone Friday, which we had a test, I can take it after spring break though. (one week of the new trimester then spring break :wallbang:) Also, this is kind of unrelated to my question that has not been answered yet, but can I drop out in Oregon at 16, and if not, can I take the GED?
Also the lump sum is 30K
Because I want to move out and start a commune possibly. GSagrsag the question is if I get emancipated can I move out of state?
I guess you'll find out next week when you ask the judge.
Not WANT, NEED.
If you successfully obtain an order of emancipation, other states will recognize that order to the limits of state public policy. If you get the order based upon your living arrangement and income in Oregon, quit, and move to a state in which you cannot support yourself, depending on your age you could still end up in that state's foster care system. Also, I'm not sure what you expect an order of emancipation to do for you; it does not, for example, compel a landlord to rent to you while you remain below the age of majority.
In terms of "special ID" or any other requirements, you will have to check the laws of the state in which you want to live in order to determine what they may require.
I would not expect a court to be impressed by the claim, "I want to be emancipated so I can drop out of school, stop working, move to another state and start a commune." On the other hand, you might make the court wonder if a drug test would be appropriate.
