I Need Out

i need to get out of living with my dad asap im not 16 yet and i wont be until april but i want to get as much info as possible to make sure this can happen, i already think i have a good enough reason. my dad, who i live with and who also has temp custody, has beat me up a couple of times but i have never called the police, i do have pictures because i went to my aunts house, my mom a raging alcoholic who doesnt even live in this country, but if the police have many records of things that have happened. My other aunt has called cps and talked to them before about getting custody of me, i dont want that, i want to be independant, and she doesnt have the money to take my dad to court to fight for it. do you honestly think i have a chance to get emancipated?

First of not all states have emancipation statutes and you failed to name yours. Second the issues you bring up are CPS issues not emancipation ones

yeah i just realized i live in washington state, and couldnt those issues become issues of emancipation since im almost of age

Emancipation is about self support not escaping abuse.

i know, but i could support myself, i was planning on getting a job and lining up renting a place before i took this to court

No you can't. Your assuming you will get a job tha tpay enoug for self support. Your assuming a landlord will rent to a 16 year old. Your assuming you can stay in school. In other words you assume too much. Get the job see what it pays etc then start looking into emancipation which I still dont know if your state has a statute

This link should give you the info on the statute but you will stillneed the job first. also just so you know its no slam dunk less than 1% of emancipation sfiled are approved.

ok thank you
