Good Enough Reasons to Get Emancipated
Hi everybody. Well I guess a lot of people on this message board would say their life is shitty and they want out of their family. I am one of those many people. My mom is uprooting me from my home in Priest River, ID to make me move to Dallesport, Oregon to live with her, my older sis and my mother's girlfriend. Yes, my mom is a stupid dike. Please don't get me wrong, I have no problems with Lesbians or Gay people, but I do have a problem with my mom being like that. This post isn't about that however. I am turning 15, August 4, and realize to get emancipated I need to be 16. I was just wondering if anyone knows how hard it is to get emancipated and how I go about doing it. I want to gather all the information I need on the subject over my gruesome year of being 15 until I turn the age to do it!! I don't have any problems such as my mom beating me or anything like that. I do however have verbal abuse I could use against her and who knows what to come. If anyone has any help they could offer me, that would be great! Thank you so much.

Aaron,
I'm a lesbian, & I cant "BE" w/ my girlfriend because of parental issues.
I really think they've taken it way too far. I'm NOT dropping out of school, on drugs, having sex, smoking or drinking. Could that be a good reason to file a petition for emancipation?
Re: Good Enough Reasons to Get Emancipated
Emancipation gives you certain rights of an adult. You must be at least 16 years old, able to support yourself, live on your own, and manage your own affairs. You need to file a Petition for Emancipation with the Juvenile Court in the county where you live and give a copy of it to your parents. The court will set a hearing to make the decision. The judge will decide if it is in your best interest to be emancipated by considering whether you have been living away from your parents and can support and care for yourself without parental assistance and supervision. If the court allows you to be emancipated, your parents will have no duty to support you, you will be treated as an adult under criminal laws, and you will have the right to contract, sue, and be sued. Emancipation does not give you the right to drink alcohol, vote, or marry.

Re: Good Enough Reasons to Get Emancipated
Not wanting to move is NOT a good enough reason to be emancipated.
Re: Good Enough Reasons to Get Emancipated
Correct. And in relation to the more recent inquiry, not being permitted to date (whatever the circumstances) is also not a basis for emancipation. A key element under Oregon law appears to be the ability to support and care for yourself without parental assistance and supervision.
In terms of initiating emancipation proceedings in Oregon,

You must be at least 16 years old. You should call the Juvenile Court in your county, and ask to speak to the intake counselor in charge of emancipation. Request an application form from the intake counselor.

Starting your own thread will get you further with your ansers. .
Couple of other pointers is you must be doing well in school and have a long standing job that will provide enough income among all other issues.

Lawyers don't typically work for free.
Why do you need emancipation? Emancipation is granted upon NEED, not want.
Why do you NEED emancipation to survive?
