Even 1000/month isn't going to cut it.
You need to show you can pay full market rent. What happens if the close family member dies?

How come a high honor student can't spell "since"?
$50 a month is NOT full market rate. You need to be able to show that you will be capable of taking on ALL your own support in the event that the family member dies, or kicks you out, or is transferred to New Zealand and cannot/will not take you with them.
As the statute indicates, if you move out and refuse to return home you can attempt to petition for emancipation. As you were told by the DHS worker, if you do not bring a petition, or do not successfully emancipate, and continue to refuse to go back home, you can expect to be sent to a group home, foster home or juvenile detention. The statute isn't designed to give kids an easy way out of parental supervision, even if they have grounds to be dissatisfied with their home lives.
That is not making adequate provisions for your own care. Not even remotely close.Quote:
I make between 300 and 500 a month working part time.
You're not listening, because you don't like the answers. I get that. My own teenagers get pissy when they hear things they don't want to hear. Tough schnickies, sister. You're not capable of making adequate provisions for your own care.
If you cannot support yourself 100% - and that means the proven ability to pay full market rate for your rent, all of your utilities, all of your clothing and medical care, all of your school related expenses (paper, pens, etc), all of your food - with zero help from anyone else, your petition will be DENIED.
I can't put it in any simpler language for you than NO. It's not happening. You're nowhere near a candidate for emancipation.
Making adequate provisions for your own care does not mean living with someone else where you pay a token rent and they pay for your food and provide you with transporation. That is simply not going to meet the requirements of the statute.
