Convince your parents to file the petition for you. If your parents aren't willing, it won't matter if you made $1.5 million last week.

My mother has already signed an agreement with me that when I turn 16 and get a job she would emancipate me and she signed it as well as I.

No....she has to submit the petition to the court. She needs to get the forms, fill them out, sign them, and file them.

Where is your father? If both of your parents to do co-petition, he will have to be notified of the proceedings and will have the righ to object.

You need to have proof that you are supporting yourself, are capable of continuing to do so, have a place to live, are successful in school, and have a higher than average level of maturity.

How do I show that I am capable of takeing care of myself I found an apartment and a roomate and I have a co-signer but I don't want to sign any leases untill i'm sure this can be done I would just do it but can't she call the cops on me and report me as a runaway??? and where do I get the papers do I have to go to a court house or something downtown of tampa florida???

Less than 1% of all petitions are successful. there are no gurantees

And my father I vist him every other weekend if i don't have to work

You should be able to get the forms from the clerk of court.

As to how you show that you are ready to be fully responsible for yourself, that is up to you to do so. If you are capable of living as an adult and taking on the responsibilities of an adult, then include in the statement any evidence that backs up your claims.

do I have to leagally get emancipated to be able to move out even if my parents are willing for me to do so.

If your parents consent your fine.

What could one of those clams be??? like everyday things or I don't understand do you mean like how I work and could pay bills and manage money???

I understand thank you if I have more questions I will reply soon thank you for your help. But be for I go if I was to get the petition and file it how long would the process take???

Your parents (not you) file and process takes months at very least. By the way you mention Mom is ok with it but what of Dad both parents are required to agree otherwise yo may have a court battle before emancipation even gets started

That depends on how backed up the court is, the judge's calendar, what other evidence the judge may decide he needs, how long the GAL's interest and report takes to get to the court....

There is no way to tell you how long it would take.

In Hillsborough County or the surrounding counties, all types of civil cases usually take a year or longer to be finalized. You are in a very populous area, so don't get your hopes up.

I wouldn't expect it to take a year or more for an emancipation petition to be heard, even in a busy court.
