Where To Go To Be Emancipated

so i have to suffer for his mistake.

Drama much?

You are complaining because you are being asked to help out financially. Wow.

I wonder if you have ever asked dad for a little extra money? Has he ever helped YOU out financially? Look up... see the roof. Feel hungry?

You could help out because you are willing to do your part. Nope... instead, you want to run away and live on your own rather than help out at home.

That'll show dad! Maybe he'll starve to death and/or get kicked out of the house!

And you think you are grown up enough for emancipation?

That's right. You do.

Emancipation is not granted on the basis of, I want. It is granted on the basis of I need.

To paraphrase another poster from this site, "I don't get along with my parents", "My parents don't let me work/keep the money I earn", and "I want to move in with my boyfriend/girlfriend" are none of them legitimate reasons for emancipation. A legitimate reason for emancipation would be, "My parents were killed in a car crash, I have no other relatives, and I have three younger siblings to support".

See the difference?

All of which, by the way, were listed in Aaron's link.

well i have given him more than 7 thousand so far. i have given up my free time to help him out. so ya i dont care.
I NEED to have a life

i need to start saving up for college.

Still not an answer that will satisfy a judge.

You won't have a life when you're emancipated, and you likely won't have much funds to save up for college. You may feel like giving money to your Dad now is a burden but think about when you're on your own, you will have to pay the bills in full. You won't have anything left.

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.
