Hoping to Emancipate
i am a 16 year old girl living with my grandparents in hotsprings arkansas. my mother has legal custady. she does not take care of me but still rules over my decissions. i really take care of myself. shes going threw a hard time mentaly and finacily and it is putting a strain on me.She doesnt let me go any where and even has forbidded me to see my own brothers. its putting me in a state of depression and makes me want to give up on everything ive acommplished.i have aquired my g.e.d, a car, and two jobs sense i turned 16 in august. i also have a place to stay with my brother and two other adults.My mother would never let me get emancipated. Is there any way that i can get emancipated on my own. thank you

Re: Please Help
Emancipation is about self support. If your state has a statute. What you desribe here is not emancipation and you would not meet criteria

Re: Please Help
The Arkansas emancipation statute is narrow in its scope, and focuses primarily on your ability to manage assets and business interests, not to live independently.
If the problem is your treatment by your mother and you live with your grandparents, doesn't that alleviate most of the issues?
