    Why Can't I Get Emancipated
    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of : I am almost sixteen on july 16. I live in california and am currently living with my mom. At one point I moved with my dad and lived with him for a year. I love my father very much but but he has a drinking problem and my mom does like that at all. My parents got a divorce when I was very young and my mother remarried. She got a divore from that man. And got engaged to another man. She left that man and is now with her boyfriend. Anywayz I want to get emancipated if possible. I can not live with either parents. My dad has a job but has a very bad drinking problem and even gets drunk around me! My mother currently works at a bar she a bartender and a pole dancer. I can't stand living in the enviorment. She always has parties while her kids are around and gets drunk and makes her ids take care of her. She yells at me on a normal basis. I feel like her slave. She has beat my older aister several times in front of her friends and eveb put her face in dirt before. My younger brother recently just fell of a school roof whch resulted in major major head injuries. He almost lost his life. Due to my moms lake of parental super vision. He was in watch of my moms boyfriend 16 year old brother.My dad took me away the first time because my mom hit me very bad and did not stop she had me on tMy.momhe floor and was on top of me beating me and kicking me in my ribs child services got involved and took me to a safe house for 2 weeks. My mom has came close to hitting me. Yesterday she almost hit me. My mother mentally abuses me I am always crying in my room and I don't want her to even come close to beating me like that again. I have a boyfriend who I can file as my income. And I want to live with him. He wants to get married but I need to be emancipated first. I have been looking for jobs but no one will hire me toll im 16. So in one month im going to start applying at places. I have 76 hours of community service. Can someone please help me get emancipated? Me and my boyfriend can support our selves. Please I can't live in this house any more with my mother. Please help me ):

    There's no way you are getting emancipated. If your parents are deemed unsuitable to have custody you'll be placed in alternative care. There's know way they're going to let you go live with your bf. The fact that you're a criminal doesn't bode well for you (in fact, not living at home may make that alternative care courtesy of the penal system).

    Emancipation isn't a means to escape parental slavery, it's a recognition of an independent child so that they can continue to do so by being relieved of the bars against minors entering into contracts, etc...

    These are the reasons you are not getting emancipated...

    • You have a criminal record as evidenced by the community service
    • You have no income of your own (no, taking credit for someone else's income doesn't come close)
    • No judge in any jurisdiction will emancipate you so that you can go shack up with your boyfriend
    • No judge is going to emancipate you from a home where you are receiving food, clothing and shelter


    You have no chance.

    If you are being abused, contact child protective services. You will be placed in foster care.

    As others have stated, emancipation is not likely to happen here. You appear to meet none of the conditions that a judge will require be met before granting emancipation.

    If mom is assaulting any of her children, preventing kids from going to school, incapable or unwilling to provide for the basic needs of the children, then you can contact the police or child protective services. If the situation is as bad as you make it out to be, then you will be contacting CPS. If your situation is not as bad as you claim it is, and you are puffing it up in order to get help to go shack up with your boyfriend, then you will have to tough it out for another couple of years until you are 18 years old.
