A month ago I have been living here for a month but my dad changed his mind and challenged it. Which is why I have to go through this process now. DHS has said that i can legally stay here, but now my father revoked it.

---

Bekah, come on. DHS doesn't make that decision...without court action.

I'm not saying as in a judge im saying as Child Protective Services and I spoke to different lawyers and Juvenile Court Officers

STOP.

The court employees CANNOT tell you that. THEY ARE LEGALLY PROHIBITED FROM DOING THAT.

I'm not saying they gave my legal permission. They said that if I get Emanciapted I would be aloud to live with my older brother. And they had court action saying my brother was to be removed permently and my dad was in jail for a couple days so I was to stay with my brother during and after because of the ongoing child abuse. He filed a missing person on me, fully aware of where I was, and the cops had no choice because nothing has been finalized yet than to return me to him. My brother is younger and therefore his has already been finalized

Do you understand that living with your brother is NOT the same thing as being emancipated?

Yes I do! But in order to do so I have to be Emanciapted. My dad won't give permission and im not willing to wait until he hits me again in order to get removed by CPS

"They" who?

My DHS worker and a P.O. Officer involved in our case

I understand you guys have questions but no one has really answered my question. The circumstances regarding my case shouldnt matter.

If you're mature enough for legal emancipation, you're mature enough to find the forms without help.

I would think you'd be mature enough not to be rude because I asked a question about a legal thing, on a site designed for that.

Here's what you're not seeing.

The court will not emancipate you so you can go and live with your brother. You have to show the court a history of supporting yourself before they'll even consider your petition.

That's pretty much all there is to it.

You're welcome

That's not what I said.

This is true. The problem is, you have no chance of being emancipated.

Fail. The matter would have to DIRECTLY INVOLVE YOU.



Am I speaking a different language?

$1150 is not enough without a guarantee you can afford health insurance, transportation, being fired, etc. You have also stated the home life reason has already been corrected.
