Can You Get Emancipated if One of Your Parents Says No

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: California.

Alright so I'm a 15 year old teen living in California. The reason I want to be emancipated is because I'm tired of living in a family that treats me like if I'm a bad person. It gets to the point where I start to feel like nothing like shit, in all honesty. Yeah other people get abused and it's not fair for me to want to do this when nothing's "that bad" but I how stay can't take it, it's better if I just leave. Not only that I know I would be better off alone and by myself. I'm mature for my age I know that. I have the living arrangements settled because I will be living with a friend, I'm looking for a job right now in order to tell the judge I can do it on my own and I have some money to support myself as well as get help from my roommate that will be living with me. It gets to the point where I really want to leave in my family, yes I love them, yeah you can talk it out, but sometimes that's not always the case. Also I truly and strongly believe that I'm able to live on my own. Being emancipated would be a great thing because I would also grow in maturity, although I'm mature already, but you can never stop learning through experience. I'm pretty sure I'm able to make adult decisions and if not I have the help of my future roomate, that I trust, and know very much. It will also benefit my family as they don't have to deal with me I guess, because it feel that way very much so. But anyways they would be better off without me, and even more so I would be better off independent and by myself, well with one other person, but it's all the same.

Also if I just went straight to my mom and told her and I told her these reasons and said "yes", does my father have a say in this as well? Although my mom and dad split up he has custody of me on the weekends. Well if I say anything to my father and he says "no", would the judge take the "no" over the "yes"?

You don't qualify for emancipation. It's that simple.

It doesn't matter what your parents say - it's up to the court, and it will be a firm "no". If your parents agree however, you can live elsewhere. But in no way do you even come close to the necessary requirements.

You're mature for your age? But you didn't bother to read the threads here, or even research the topic as it pertains to CA?

That won't do it. Sorry.

Here are your legal options:

To be honest, you are simply not going to be emancipated. Sorry, but teens not getting along with their parents is about as common as the sun rising. Emancipation is granted in very few, very exceptional cases where it is truly in the best interest of the child. NOT because the child feels put out or demeaned by their parents, but, because their parents have essentially abandoned the child and the child has had to take an active roll in supporting themselves and/or their siblings because their parents are not acting like adults. Unless both your parents are supportive of this move, you don't stand a chance. And even if they both support it, the court is not likely to allow it. But, mom and dad CAN give permission for you to stay elsewhere if you wish and they agree.
