Seeking emancipation but in need of financial aid
Hello Everyone,
My name is Samantha and I'm going to be 16 in less then 2 weeks, I am seeking emancipation and am attending school, this has made it near impossible for me to be financially secure enough to pay for everything on my own. My mother moved out on emancipation when she was 16 and told me she was put on welfare along with the emancipation. Is that possible now-a-days? Can I have the government send me a monthly check as financial aid, if I was emancipated? Please help!!!

According to the California Code:
Quote:
Quoting California Family Code
Section 7130.
(a) A declaration of emancipation obtained by fraud or by the withholding of material information is voidable.
(b) A declaration of emancipation of a minor who is indigent and has no means of support is subject to rescission.
Section 7131.
A petition to void a declaration of emancipation on the ground that the declaration was obtained by fraud or by the withholding of material information may be filed by any person or by any public or private agency. The petition shall be filed in the court that made the declaration.
Section 7132.
(a) A petition to rescind a declaration of emancipation on the ground that the minor is indigent and has no means of support may be filed by the minor declared emancipated, by the minor's conservator, or by the district attorney of the county in which the minor resides. The petition shall be filed in the county in which the minor or the conservator resides.
(b) The minor may be considered indigent if the minor's only source of income is from public assistance benefits. The court shall consider the impact of the rescission of the declaration of emancipation on the minor and shall find the rescission of the declaration of emancipation will not be contrary to the best interest of the minor before granting the order to rescind.

In other words, no. If you need financial assistance, emancipation is not going to happen.

sounds like your Mother was either with child or had a child which qualified her for welfare! the laws years ago were also less restricitng which cause a lot of fraud. No I am not suggesting your Mother committed welfare fraud. However long story short you dont qualify!
