Help Emancipating

Ok,
I'm 15 right now and live in the state of Florida. I want, and am planning, on graduating a year early from high school. When i graduate I will 16, if all goes according to plan. I want to move to New Mexico to word at wolf facility and join the coast guard reserve. But i want to do that RIGHT when im out of high school. My house is unstable. I don't know how severe it had to be for emancipation to happen but this is how it is for me:
My mom died when i was 3 1/2 and since then my father has being somewhat physically abusive. The most he has done is only hold me aginst the wall with his hands on my neck choking me. He has slapped me be4 and pushed me nothing big. The thing that makes me go crazy and unfourtunatly makes me VERY depressed (not good, i dont want to be but i ant help it) is the verbal abuse. I will not say most of the things he says and calls me because it is not appropriate, but some have been along the lines of saying he wishes i was never born, the worst day of his life was the day i came into this world, im worthless, im nothing, and other very vulgar things. He also attacks my looks, saying im fat and stuff like that. I mean i know im not thin but at 150 thats not that big, but still makes me beleive everything he says. Ive dealt with this since i was 4. But i dont know if i can take it anymore. Are these reasons grounds enough for emancipation? PLEASE help. I really need to know. I also have a boyfriend who i would like to move in with. I know when you get emancipated you have to support yourself, and i fully intend on paying rent as well as for my own food and supplies. So is this a possibility? or is the whole boyfriend thing a no go?

Thank you for reading all of this and thank you for your help,
Hayley

Oh and also, i know many cases of emancipation are because of boyfriends and girlfriends who want to live together. This isnt my care, yes i want to be with him (my boyfriend) but i have thought of emacipation for years, even before we met. My house situation is unlivable for me. I loath my father. I see him and the depression gets worse, and i dont want it getting to the point where it could make me as unstable enough to harm myself. This is why im doing it. Not for how i feel for some boy. But for my safety and sanity.

Ok,
I'm 15 right now and live in the state of Florida.You cannot be emancipated at 15 I want, and am planning, on graduating a year early from high school. When i graduate I will 16, if all goes according to plan. I want to move to New Mexico to word at wolf facility and join the coast guard reserve.This is doubtful they will accept a 16 year old and if so you will need parental consent But i want to do that RIGHT when im out of high school. My house is unstable. I don't know how severe it had to be for emancipation to happen but this is how it is for me:Emacipattion at 15 is impossible in your state and if 16 require parental consent
My mom died when i was 3 1/2 and since then my father has being somewhat physically abusive.Contact CPS The most he has done is only hold me aginst the wall with his hands on my neck choking me. He has slapped me be4 and pushed me nothing big. The thing that makes me go crazy and unfourtunatly makes me VERY depressed (not good, i dont want to be but i ant help it) is the verbal abuse.This is abuse and CPS can help you I will not say most of the things he says and calls me because it is not appropriate, but some have been along the lines of saying he wishes i was never born, the worst day of his life was the day i came into this world, im worthless, im nothing, and other very vulgar things.

But i dont know if i can take it anymore. Are these reasons grounds enough for emancipation? Doesn't matter your not old enough and will your Father consent?PLEASE help. I really need to know. I also have a boyfriend who i would like to move in with.You ar eno age of consent and livi9ng with your BF would be illegal and he can go to jail I know when you get emancipated you have to support yourself, and i fully intend on paying rent as well as for my own food and supplies. So is this a possibility? or is the whole boyfriend thing a no go?

Just how does a 15 year old support herself!? Stay in school learn contact CPS for protection and stop having sex!

in Florida, your parent has to file the petition for emancipation. contact DCF / CPS regarding the abuse and see if they can help you with an alternate living situation or a guardian ad litem to assist with emancipation proceedings.

Quoting Florida Statutes, Section 743.015 - Disabilities of nonage; removal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) A circuit court has jurisdiction to remove the disabilities of nonage of a minor age 16 or older residing in this state upon a petition filed by the minor's natural or legal guardian or, if there is none, by a guardian ad litem.

(2) The petition shall contain the following information:
(a) The name, address, residence, and date of birth of the minor.

(b) The name, address, and current location of each of the minor's parents, if known.

(c) The name, date of birth, custody, and location of any children born to the minor.

(d) A statement of the minor's character, habits, education, income, and mental capacity for business, and an explanation of how the needs of the minor with respect to food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other necessities will be met.

(e) Whether the minor is a party to or the subject of a pending judicial proceeding in this state or any other jurisdiction, or the subject of a judicial order of any description issued in connection with such pending judicial proceeding.

(f) A statement of the reason why the court should remove the disabilities of nonage.
(3) If the petition is filed by the natural or legal guardian, the court must appoint an attorney ad litem for the minor child, and the minor child shall be brought before the court to determine if the interest of the minor will be fully protected by the removal of disabilities of nonage. The attorney ad litem shall represent the child in all related proceedings.

(4) If the petition is filed by the guardian ad litem or next friend, service of process must be perfected on the natural parents.

(5) If both parents are not jointly petitioning the court for the removal of the disabilities of nonage of the minor, service of process must be made upon the nonpetitioning parent. Constructive service of process may be used, provided the petitioning parent makes an actual, diligent search to discover the location of, and provide notice to, the nonpetitioning parent.

(6) The court shall consider the petition and receive such evidence as it deems necessary to rule on the petition. If the court determines that removal of the disabilities of nonage is in the minor's best interest, it shall enter an order to that effect. An order removing the disabilities of nonage shall have the effect of giving the minor the status of an adult for purposes of all criminal and civil laws of the state, and shall authorize the minor thereafter to exercise all of the rights and responsibilities of persons who are 18 years of age or older.

(7) The court shall consider the petition and, if satisfied that the removal of the disabilities is in the minor's best interest, shall remove the disabilities of nonage; and shall authorize the minor to perform all acts that the minor could do if he or she were 18 years of age.

(8) The judgment shall be recorded in the county in which the minor resides, and a certified copy shall be received as evidence of the removal of disabilities of nonage for all matters in all courts.

Thus, the emancipation petition would have to be initiated by your parents.

First, im not having sex with him. second, im turning 16 next month and was planning on taking action AFTER high school, which i will complete a year early meaning i will be 16 when i graduate. So i will be staying in school, i wont be having sex and as for the protection, i plan to do that myself by removing myself from harm.

and also, the living with my boyfriend sint manditory, it was a possibility but i guess not if he could get into any trouble. So that out of the question, i can support myself if i have a high school deploma and will be turning 17 not long after graduating.

so if a child is in harms way they can not remove the child without the parents consent? what if the child was to die in the house hold?

i know i have a problem with spelling. That has always been a problem with me. But i assure u i am no idiot. I have had all honors classes and have always been in high classes my whole life of school.

Geez I wish you would pay attention! You cannot be emancipated without parental consent! If CPS finds abuse yes you could be removed from the home and placed in foster care

I have been paying attention. But i am also asking questions and trying to find all the information i can on this. And what about a step parent? could a step mother sign for my emancipation?

If you can't spell how do you expect your job application to be considered?

No your not paying attention. The statute was posted read it! No your step parent cannot sign both parents (if both are living) must sign. Step parents don't count

Because on applications, i make sure my spelling is right. And on this, it doesnt make a difference. Right now i am having a hard time and spelling isnt the most important thing on my mind right now. I just need the information. Not someones opinion on wether or not im a idiot who cant spell. I know i cant spell but thats not what i am here to learn about. So please dont comment on my flaws. I already know i have a bunch of them, thank you.

If the child was to die in the house hold the parents consent to remove the child from the house hold wound't be needed. Guess that's one way of getting out of the house without parental consent.
