hello im 15 and i currently attend high school. I am wondering about getting emancipated.I live with my grandmother because my mother gets guys who drink alot and are verbally abusive threatenining me so i moved with my grandmother and she is always threatening to kick me out and if i break one of her rules she tells my mom to deal with it but my mom says for her to deal with it. IN oregon can i just get emancipated with out her consent and live with my uncle and hold a job?
What is your definition of emancipation?
In other words, what do you think that YOU have to do to be emancipated?
(This is NOT a trick question.)
ive read i have to be 16 ,and im not sure if i need parental consent
Quoting Oregon Emancipation Law
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
