Can Your Parents Stop You From Meeting With a Lawyer or Getting Emancipated

Actually, I did answer the question you asked. The answer is yes, your parents can prevent you from getting a lawyer and/or getting emancipated.

You don't get to decide who responds to your threads, kiddo.

I have a permit and follow my states rules and regulation's nothing illigal unless getting paid for what I'm doing which is always supervised by the one who is paying me (:

It's not worth my time to disprove your point although I would have loved to. Also your opinion was not asked for and nor is it appreciated by me.

Thank you and I once again ask you to be the so called mature one and walk away before I block you on this site. Have a wonderful night.

We're devastated to learn that you've blocked us.

So, since your parents CAN object and block this pipe dream of yours, can you show that your parents have not been supporting you? If you cannot prove your parents have NOT been supporting you, then the court is almost certainly NOT going to grant you emancipation.

And, until you are emancipated, your parents CAN control who you see, where you go, and what you do.

Keep in mind that a very puny percentage of emancipation applicants actually obtain it, and these are generally kids who are living on their own or supporting themselves for reasons other than their own choices.

in order to be emanicpated in michigan you need to either already be living by yourself and supporting yourself, or have both parent's permission.

emancipation is not going to happen based on the facts you stated.

I have a differing view on the issue of whether the parents can prevent the child from getting a lawyer. A child in a legal dispute generally has the same right to get an attorney as an adult does. If the parent could prevent a child from being represented by a lawyer in a dispute between them that would obviously give the parents a tremendous tactical advantage in the legal proceeding. The courts would take a dim view of that. Each side ought to be able to have a lawyer if they want one and can afford it.

That said, the parents likely do not have to pay for the lawyer the kid retains, and a smart lawyer will think twice about representing a minor unless he or she can be assured that the minor’s right to disaffirm contracts will not come back to bite the lawyer later. So a minor might have trouble finding a lawyer to assist with this unless the lawyer is willing to work pro bono or unless legal aid is willing to help.

I agree that winning emancipation is difficult in Michigan where the parents object. In that case, the minor must prove that the parents are not now providing any support for the child. The OP may want to read a booklet from the Michigan Bar Association that explains many of the rights that a minor has and briefly discusses emancipation in it. It makes the point that winning emancipation rulings is rare in Michigan. That booklet can be found here: http://www.michbar.org/file/programs/pdfs/thelaw.pdf

It doesn't sound as if there are any court proceedings yet, and I had the "not paying" in mind. But point taken.

first, if I was your parent, the first thing I would do upon learning of your intention was rescinding permission for your work permit. Yes, they can do that at any time and there is nothing you can do about it.

Second, as to the occupation itself:

You did say you were only 15, right? Then from what you have described, YES, the work you are doing is illegal.

so tell me where remodeling a house is not included in the construction industry which does include additions or improvements. As well, you are even prohibited from cleanup for such occupations.

You are the one looking for information. You are the one showing a lack of maturity because you are bothered by information germane to your issue. Do you believe a court will not notice your immaturity?

If you are talking to me, I just proved my point. If you think you can disprove it, have at it.
