Washington State Emancipation Law
I'm 15 years old and i can't stand living in my house much longer. My hole life i've been stuck taking care of my younger brother and our house hold. Not having a normal childs life at all. Which has caused me to be very depressed. And then i always have my mother who would usually call me all sorts of names to bring me down and then hit me if i didn't listen or if i did something wrong. And it always made me feel like i was just the smallest person alive. And i felt like killing myself everytime this happens. I have already talked to my Aunt about moving in with her till i can get my own place. Would that be possible and still be emancipated without being adopted? or would i have to get adopted??
Oh and then theres my father.. i love him to death but i dont think he will allow me to move out. But if he loves me shouldnt he do what is best for me?
Please help me, If u have any information on Washington Emancipation then please help me! and answer my question.
Thank you all..
