Planning to Emancipate

I'm currently living in GA i just moved from FL I'm working toward getting emancipated and am very serious.... In may of 2008 I plan to be emancipated i know everthing i have to do to get the process done but have no idea if i can move back to florida when I've obtained my emancipation papers.... my mother has already agreed to sign the papers..... I've read alot about it and understand that in florida to be emancipated there I'd need to go to school &have a place to live and be able to pay for it with my own money...... i just need to know if i can move to florida without having to go through this whole process over again when i get there

You r emancipation need be petition in the state you have legal residence. Sinc eyou now live in GA it would be that state however GA has no apparent statute for this process.

Do you have a full-time job?

Do you support yourself 100%?

If not, then don't bother because you are not emancipated.

You can read Georgia's emancipation law here. It requires a lot more than parental consent.

as i said b4 i'm already aware of this law and what i have to do..... i just want to kno when i get emancipated in Georgia, will my papers still be valid if move to florida?????????

You do realize that only about 1% of all petitions are actually granted? Your chance sof a successful emancipation are very slim. So your question is will Florida accept you as an emancipated teen if GA grants you emancipation?

Full faith and credit would apply; but that doesn't mean it will be easy to live in Florida, because (for example) landlords may not want to rent to you until you turn 18, or may require a cosigner.

I would say that one percent is a generous estimate; based on the figures I've seen it's more like one tenth of one percent.

yes that is my question.....

Ok so you want to know if FL is legally bound to accept your emancipation? That I could not say being as they have a statute of their own I would "guess" yes but I am unsure. Your first hurdle is the emacnipation itself as stated very very very very few are granted

Again, full faith and credit would apply.

i also want to know if i can stay/visit with friends or family over the winter &summer breaks like i usually would
