When Can a Minor Be Emancipated Without Parents' Consent

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Nevada

First of all I am 15 year old truning 16 very soon and im also a senior so, I will be graduating at the age of 16. I want to get emanciapated because I cant stand the mental abuse that I'm getting from not only my mom but also my aunts and grandma. I live with my mom and aunt and grandma who are very religious and it didn't bug me much at first. Though I am athiest i could go to church with them if im forced but, suddenly they have been calling me "devil" and much more(though they think i believe in god) Also since they are very religious they think being gay is wrong and im pansexual but i have not told them because i rather no be called more stuff or being prayed for because "i have the devil in me". Not only that but i have my mom sisters who watch over me also though they do not take care of their own kids. Im constally being called a bad kid though i have alot of Ap and Honors classes and rarely go out. Im also just not complaining about my family and how i dont have freedom but ive been in a depression when i was younger and got out of it but living with them has got me back in my depression and sucidal. My mom was a big alcholic and would come home till like 4 or 5 in the morning it started when i was five and stoped probly around the age 8. I also been molested when i was smaller and dont know by who. I was not bugged when i was smaller but now its come back and haunts me making me not feel safe at home. ive been to a thearpist and i told my mom i wanted to go back cause i felt like it was helping however it not. So not only do i get crap from my mom and grandma but also from my mom sisters and if their kids do something wrong like 'getting high' and having sex im basicly blamed for not watching them and walking them home when they're not my responsibily. If i get a councler on my side at school and they help me with getting emancipated and they believe being away from them is best from me will i be able to do i without my mom concent? Also since my dad doesnt have costudy of me does he have to know also? If I can not be emancipated now can i when i graduate from highschool and go into college? Because i know you have to live on your own before you get emancipated and show you can support your self(which im setting up a bank account soon and getting a job once im 16) but would living in a dorm count as living on your own even if i have a roomate since i will be paying for it my self?(There is much more that is going on at my house but i don't know how to explain it very well and also how my aunts treat my cousins is not for me to say if they don't want to do much about it but come to my grandma about it yet nothings done even though im in the same situation as them at time they say i over react while they call the cops for my cousins and not me) Lastly, if theres anyway else to live with a different family( My freinds) would i be able to without being emancipated but another process? My friends parents know how my family is and they really want whats best for me so they want me to come with them , though obviously my mom wouldnt let me.

In your state, you cannot be emancipated unless you are ALREADY living away from home and supporting yourself.

You cannot move away from home without your parents' consent.

Therefore, you cannot be emancipated without your parents' consent.

No, there are no exceptions. No matter how many counselors think being away from home will be better for you.

Did you read this thread?

Thats why i asked if there was any other way i could leave and live with someon else ,but if not when i go to college and live in a dorm would that be supporting my self then?

For someone who is supposedly graduating at age 16, you have remarkably poor grammar and spelling.

No, going to college will not emancipate you either.

No. There is no way that you can go and live with someone else unless your mother gives you permission. I hope that is now clear to you.

Unless you are the one paying your tuition, room and board fees, no, going to college will not count as supporting yourself.

Im using a phone that freezes alot and im kinda doing this in a hurry, but does it really matter? Im a senior and if you dont want to believe me then i can careless. Also if im living in a dorm on my own paying for it in my own hows that not supporting my self then? Im just confused.

Okay, thanks. I understand i wont be able to now. Also with college i will be paying for it my self im in a program where they help me get scholarships so i would be paying for the living and food and much more my self.

You completely misunderstood the point I was making. I should have been more direct. "Presentation" is very important if you want to be taken seriously anywhere. I would recommend that you try not to use a phone to make posts on legal forums or anywhere else that you want to be taken seriously. Use a laptop or desktop computer so that you can do it properly.

Scholarships do not count as supporting yourself.

Yes, i know im sorry. I do want to be taken seriously and im just trying to get answers quickly I was on a laptop earlyer, but i had to get off. Im just looking for any help i could get because i have talked to other counclers and they said im over reacting but i dont tell my whole situations because i dont want my cousins to be taken from theyre parents if its that bad. So even if im paying for the dorm i cant.?

Bud, I hated my parents when I was your age. They were "abusive" to me as well. Well, I considered it abusive, but now, looking back some 20 years, that "abuse" was "tough love". I wanted to run away and live with friends, or other family members. "They don't have my best interests in mind". Well, actually they did. And as smart as you may think you are, you're parents are smarter. Why? Because they have more years of experience than you. Education is important, no doubt. But education is no substitute or replacement for real world experience. You have 15-16 years of experience - your parents twice that. You will be graduating shortly, and then going away (I presume) to higher ed. And shortly thereafter you will be 18, a legal adult able to make your own decisions. These next 2 years will be a tremendous learning and growing period for you on how to deal with stuff you don't want to or that you don't think is fair. The real world is full of that garbage so get a head start.

Are you graduating early due to academic performance? What kind of standards are there in Nevada? Earlier, not earlyer. Counselors, not counclers. Their parents, not they're parents. College might be a challenge.
