Re: Am I Eligible to Become Emancipated
okay so i've been reading all these threads and i too want to get emancipated. help me out i think my case is different. im 17 years old i live in florida im not going to lie my house is stable. me and my dad always clash heads and for this reason i was kicked out at 14 but came back for my mother. this weekend we got into the worst argument of all time the day after my mom said it is okay for me to get emancipated if i wish ( my father isn't speaking to me for he says im not his daughter) , i have job, my senior year classes are being done online more than 50% done and senior year hasn't started. since i started working i would pay for my own food , school supplies, phone bill etc. i have a friend who is willing to let me live with her if i pay rent and am emancipated. i don't want to waste money on filling for a petition if there are no chances of me winning. i just cant wait another year till i am 18 being in the same house as my father is beyond overwhelming. please help
Re: Am I Eligible to Become Emancipated
Your case is not different. BOTH parents must agree. No way around that. And Florida is one of the more difficult states - if you've got a roof over your head, eat every day, and have the basics of life living with your parents, then the court isn't going deem that you NEED emancipation.
