So we know that there is no statute addressing the emancipation of a minor in Kentucky.

Here's the deal:

1. Your parents have to consent unless there are extenuating circumstances
2. Emancipation is not, and was not, a means to get out of an abusive household.
3. The vast majority of landlords simply won't rent to anyone under 18.
4. The state is going to be looking for just about any reason to deny the petition.


Then use the "search" function here. It's fairly obvious that neither of you took the time to actually do that, so I suggest you read the other emancipation threads.

To Elizabeth - forget it. It's not an option for you.

You suggest a court turn out a child that is clearly emotionally compromised and unmedicated, who will not even take responsibility to get up in the morning in time for the bus and cannot even begin to provide herself with basic needs so she can likely become sexually exploited or addicted to drugs as a means of controlling her?

no, but you can tell her other ways that she can get out of a bad environment.

Unless she is removed by the state she's in it for the duration. As long as she is under 18, she lives where her parents say she lives until her 18th birthday unless the state places her in foster care or a group home because they have been declared unfit.

which, she can in fact call social services and tell them the situation and they will get her out of the bad environment. trust me, i know. i've been there and done all of that. my parents didnt treat me right so i did everything i could to get out of the environment and i did. now im in the process of emancipation and if you'd like, then once i finish the paperwork i will be more than happy to show you. and you can get emancipated in both Tennessee and Kentucky area, i now because ive had somebody help me get this far.

She can call social services, yes. But it is far from a given that they will take her out. It will be THEIR determination as to what constitutes a "bad environment" that counts, not hers and most certainly not yours.

Yes, by all means when you are granted emancipation by the court post back with the case number that we can independently verify.

You haven't read a single thing, have you? Do you know what "statute" means? Do you know what "ward of the state" means?

What you think you know is so much more than you actually know.

but if its truly a bad environment then she will get taken out. you don't know what people go through when they're in a bad environment and i feel as if you don't really care.

I don't care for little girls pretending to be grown-ups, that's true.

And sweety, don't ever assume what someone here has or hasn't experienced. You have no clue.

Just another know-it-all teen who thinks that adults were born at the age of 35, were never a teen themselves, and who assumes that the law actually cares what she thinks.
