My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Tennessee
so i life with my mom, my dad has been in and out of jail all of my life so whomever my mom was with (relationship wise) was my dad at the time...also my grandma and uncle helped take care of me. as i got older, i stopped getting things that i wanted/needed only on chirstmas or my birthday. i've been wearing the same clothes since 9th grade until recently. my mom stopped doing anything for me. if money or time was involved i always had to rely on my granny. When i got a job in november of 2011 my mom really stopped helping. i pay for my own car insurance, gas, food, anything else i need like senior dues and prom she said she wasnt even going to help with college. all of this is fine with me, i dont mind being independent. i feel as though it will help me and teach me responsibility and time management since before i was 12 i never had to do anything for myself. Just recently my mom went out of town and left me in my dad's care. i told her i didnt want to go over there because he's never home so i'd be there by myself (i could stay home by myself at MY house) and also i dont like having to listen to him, regardless of him being my biological father, he has never been there for me. he feels as though because he gives me money here and there he's doing his job, when he's not. he wasnt there when i was almost raped, he wasnt there when i had to do a father daughter dance, he wasnt there when report cards came out, he wasnt there on any of my 1st days of school, christmas, birthdays any of that and i resent him for that. i shouldnt have to listen to him so i dont. he told me to come home by 11 but i didnt come home. i understand that was wrong and a bad/dumb decision, however, i dont feel that he has the right to take my keys, phone, computer, and kindle seeing as though he never paid for any of them. why should i be forced to catch rides and ride the bus when i have a car sitting outside. Neither of my parents respect me, they go through my things, talk about me to their friends etc. right in my face. i have no respect for either of them and i feel as though i can do a better job of taking care of myself than they can. i will live with my uncle, i have transportation for the both of us, hopefully i'll have a job at the Opry Mills mall (i have an interview march 10th), im still in school (i'll graduate may 19th), and i feel as though i CAN make mature decisions, i just havent recently. i know when to be mature and how, i just never knew how to express my feelings towards my parents because i know they will never understand and instead punish me and judge me. my dad asked me if i just wanted to get away from them and i said yes so he was like "if you feel like you can take care of yourself, get a change of clothes and leave" so i was about to leave, but then he was like "no just stay here and be miserable" see what i'm saying, he's terrible. so i want to be emancipated to take care of myself, do i have a chance at being emancipated? if so, do you know someone who can represent me for cheap?
