    Can You Get Emancipated if Your Parents are Mean and Inappropriate
    My question involves rmancipation of a17 year old in the state of Georgia.
    My parents have emotionally abused me. I have been put doen witb their hurtful words a lot. My dad flirts with me and its inappropriate. My mom calls me names all the time. None of this happens to my brother. Only me. Guess its because I screwed up in the past. But is this grounds for me to be emancipated? I can get a job.

    No, it's not.

    Emancipation is not and never was intended to be a means for a minor to leave home. It was and is intended to be a means to provide legal protections to those minors who, for reasons outside their own control, found themselves living on their own.

    But more than that, about ten years ago the Georgia state legislature very deliberately went in and tightened up the laws on minor emancipation to the point where it is now virtually impossible for a minor in Georgia to be emancipated.
