Emancipation in the State of Colorado

I suggest you look here:

http://www.courts.state.co.us/Courts...Youth/Laws.cfm

I'd be moving in with a friend, and can afford rent on 800$ a month. And I have been self-supporting myself for seven months already on that.

Or at the very least, re-read the page you posted. :cool:

You pay the mortgage? Property taxes? Utilities? Really?

No, you have not been self-supporting. Until you are living separate and apart from your parents and paying 100% of EVERYTHING - and can prove that you can do so without ANY help from ANYONE, should your roommate bug out - you are not even remotely close to self-supporting.

And one more time, there is no independent cause of action available in the state of Colorado for a minor to become emancipated. That means the question of your eligibility for emancipation must come as part of another court action, such as both of your parents dying in a plane crash and the court needing to determine your legal guardian.

Hey there. I was emancipated in the state of Colorado. In fact I am a ward of the state of Colorado.

It was 20 years ago when I did this. Generally you have to get a guardiem ed litim (spelling)
This is a lawyer that looks after your own interests. It s not employed by your parents.

Generally you need to have a pretty strong reason for your emancipation application. Also you may need to spend time in an emancipation home, like the Dale house on cascade ave Colorado Springs. Again it was 20 years ago.
An emancipation home is a grouo home for mosty at risk juveniles that are close to the age of 18.

Lastly, I am no attorney and my suggestions are a reflection of my history in the system. A group home can be fierce. If your parents are not hurting you, then I would recommend staying there. Keep in mind that after you turn 18 you will have the rest of your life to, live on your own. You are in a situation where you could save a lot of money. Or you can go shopping...there are many possibilties.
If your parents are hurting you I would talk to a counselor at school, speak to a social services worker, talk to another adult you feel you can trust, or in fierce situations you could call the police. Good luck---mikemsg

Did you even bother to read the thread?

And do you know what emancipation is? Because what you are describing isn't.

Plus, what allegedly happened to the poster occurred 20 years ago.

And as WE all know, Colorado does NOT currently have an emancipation statute. :cool:
