    Is It Possible For Me To Be Emancipated?
    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Florida.


    I'm Sixteen and my living habits at home are, well not the best. My parents are always fighting with one another, my dads always yelling at my brother, and lately they've been screaming in my face -literally-more often. My brother has major issues and they spend most of their time focusing on him and his issues with drugs and etc. , that when I do something wrong it seems so much worse than it really is that they literally get inches from my face screaming at me. On an account or two I literally thought my dad was going to punch me, like he did my brother a little over two years ago. Lately I've found myself hiding out in my room from them, from their screams that make me feel like I'm nothing and I feel so emotionally distraught lately.

    Now I understand that I would need to be able to support myself and to have a place to live. Now If I were to move in with my boyfriend who has a full time job and part time jobs and then I get a part time job while I finish schooling would that be at all possible?

    Am I even eligble for emancipation?

    First of all, in Florida the ONLY way for a teen to be emancipated is if THE PARENTS file the petition.

    Secondly, even if your parents do file the petition, there is not a judge in the US who will grant an emancipation so that you can live with your boyfriend.

    Third, nothing you have posted suggests that you are a candidate for emancipation, which is granted on NEED, not want.
