Alleginging a Neglectful Home as a Basis for Emancipation

I am 16 years old and I am from Arizona. I have good grades I have had a job for two months now. I would like to be emancipated from my parents because they do not provide proper nutrition , clothing, or a clean environment. They also will not allow me to move out of the situation, (I have before) because they see no reason for me to leave again. There has been an abusive past, and I have proof. The abuse has stopped, however they are not providing me with the things I need. I feel that I could do much better on my own, and if my case is approved I already have a permanent living situation prepared with a relative. I am also preparing to graduate high school early, and intend on immediately moving on to college. Is there a possibility, if pursued, that my plea will be granted?

You will find that it is very difficult to get emancipation under any circumstances, doing so because you do not like your home or get along with your parents is not going to be enough.

Living with a relative will not be what emancipation is about. if you want to live with a relative, ask your parents to give their okay to it. If they object, they can also object to your petition for emancipation and you'd still be at home.

A minuscule number of minors actually get emancipated, and those tend to be because the minor is already on their own through no action of theirs. When you turn 18 you can walk out the door with whatever your parents let you take with you. It might be best to just wait. In fact, that may be your own real option.

Even if your home rises to the level of abuse, we don't turn the abused out on their own. We find alternative custody. As CDW points out, despite what you think you know of the word from eigth grade civics, emancipation is not a way to escape parental enslavement, but rather a recognition that an independent minor needs relief from certain things denied him because of his age (ability to enter into contracts, etc..). Even then the privileges gained are limited.
