Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
First, you make no mention of your state, so we can't even tell you if emancipation is available in your state.
Second, even if it is available in your state, you make no mention of how long you have been supporting yourself 100%. If you're not already doing that, you're not a candidate for emancipation.
Third, she can threaten you with the military all she wants. She's blowing smoke - you can't be forced to join the military, period.
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
the state is arkansas i dont have a job but tht because my mom wont let me have one i know i can be independent i have nice family i could stay at in california and enough money to buy a flight to get ther. however i am not sure how that would work wud i get emancipated here or in california
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
You don't qualify for emancipation - at all.
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
Honestly, you do not even have a grasp of the English language. Having the ability to provide food, clothing, shelter and medical for yourself, in addition to going to school full time, is not going to happen for you.

Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
Because you do not have a job or a means of supporting yourself or a history of doing so. The law WILL NOT emancipate you on the basis of what you say you're going to do and it will not emancipate you so that you can go live with someone else who will support you instead. Unless you have the means RIGHT NOW to pay EVERY PENNY of your own support, you do not qualify for emancipation.
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
so you are saying if i have a job i can?
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
Good lord, child, write in English. You get more than 140 characters here.
You don't qualify because you don't have a full time job, therefore you are not capable of supporting yourself 100%, and you have no track record of being able to do so.
Additionally, you're not old enough. You can't file a petition for emancipation in the state of Arkansas until you're 17.
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
So it would mandatory for me to wait until im 17 and another question if my mom wants me to go to boot camp can she do that without me misbehaving or anything i really want to leave knowing she might put me somewhere i dont belong

I answered this already. Your mother cannot force you to join the military. The US Armed Forces will not accept you if you are not there of your own free will.
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
Yes. It is mandatory that you wait till you are 17. It is also mandatory that you have, not just a job, but a job that will allow you to pay EVERY PENNY of your own rent, utilities, food, clothing, medical care, transportation, insurance, school fees and supplies, staples, and all the rest of the everyday costs of life. A minimum wage job flipping burgers is not going to cut it. Oh, and did I mention that while you're working this job that pays all your own expenses, you also have to still be in school and getting better than average grades?
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
Well thanks for your help one more thing what do you believe about love from faraway?
- - - Updated - - -
umm well i am good in school a's and b's if thats what your talking about i do plan to be in school but that would take place in california
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
Love from faraway too quickly becomes dependent children with unmarried parents who can't support them. Keep the love in your pants until you are an adult.
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
well my parents are married im talking about me falling for a guy i know since pre school but he lives in california and i live in arkansas i talked to his mom and i told her whats going on with my mom and she says i can go live with them is it possible for me to do that
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
If your parents allow that, yes. If they don't, then no, you'd have to wait until you're an adult (unless you want to risk Mr. Wonderful potentially facing federal criminal charges).
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
ONLY if you have the permission of both your parents or are 18 years old.
Re: Can I Be Emancipated in Arkansas
