Emancipating in Colorado

I am a 15 year old girl living in Colorado and i want to be emancipated form my mother. I have no one else to go live with so my only choice is to live alone or with a roomate. I have also been trying to get my cousin emancipated. She is one year almost to the younger than me and she lives in Kansas. She knows that she would have to move and get a job to help out and she's ok with that. SHe is extremely unhappy there with her mother and only wishes to get out and i believe i can help her and take care of her. She respects me and knows that i only want the best for her. Any information to help get her out here with me would help. I would also appreciate any information involving any help like welfare or child support would also help. My mother get around $800 a month for me form my biological father would i get that or would the child support be terminated? I need to know what i'll need to be emancipated. I am currently looking for a job. I've talked to some people and i've researched some information, but i don't know entirely what i need. I believe i have sufficient proof for my wanting to be emancipated. I could explain if you want. I just really need some sort of help. Any information or laws that could help me i would be very greatful. Thank You.

Colorado does not appear to have a statutorily defined procedure for emancipation. It recognizes emancipation in its statutes:

Quoting Colorado Code 19-1-103. Definitions

---

(45) "Emancipated juvenile", as used in section 19-2-511, means a juvenile over fifteen years of age and under eighteen years of age who has, with the real or apparent assent of the juvenile's parents, demonstrated independence from the juvenile's parents in matters of care, custody, and earnings. The term may include, but shall not be limited to, any such juvenile who has the sole responsibility for the juvenile's own support, who is married, or who is in the military.

It thus appears that a Colorado court will recognize a minor as emancipated, but without a statute it's difficult to suggest the procedures; you may wish to inquire with your local court to see if there are standard forms for petitioning for emancipation. Note that the statute suggests that you can't emancipate over the objection of your parents.

You should not expect to receive child support if you are emancipated, as you will no longer be a dependent child (and you, as the child, aren't a proper recipient of child support).

Ok Thank you and so since i would no longer live with my mother she wouldn't get child support for me and my biological father would basically be free of any obligation toward me. Right? Well thank you anyway.
Would you happen to know about welfare or any other kind of helpful service that could help an emancipated minor?...any information would be helpful. Thank You.
