Re: I need help gettin my boyfriend emancipated he isn't safe
Colorado does not appear to have a statutorily defined procedure for emancipation. It recognizes emancipation in its statutes:
Quote:
Quoting Colorado Code 19-1-103. Definitions
(45) "Emancipated juvenile", as used in section 19-2-511, means a juvenile over fifteen years of age and under eighteen years of age who has, with the real or apparent assent of the juvenile's parents, demonstrated independence from the juvenile's parents in matters of care, custody, and earnings. The term may include, but shall not be limited to, any such juvenile who has the sole responsibility for the juvenile's own support, who is married, or who is in the military.
It thus appears that a Colorado court will recognize a minor as emancipated, but without a statute it's difficult to suggest the procedures. The requirement for parental assent would be difficult to meet under the circumstances you describe. If his grandparents don't have a court-ordered guardianship, he should consider trying to contact his father.
Re: My Boyfriend Isn't Safe And Needs Help Being Emancipated
This seems to be a very sad situation. I can understand the difficulties he faces, I have a father that couldn't understand educating girls at all. I married a man that seemed very disappointed that I knew how to read and he use to yell at me for reading. Anyway, I got passed all that and discovered that adversity can make you a much stronger person.
Perhaps your boyfriend will realize that too and when he can he will continue his education, get a good job, and make a good life for himself and his brother. Good luck.
