Can I Get Emancipated from My Family

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Massachusetts

I need to know if I can get away from a family that has repetedly told me that I am not wanted there and that i sould just leave. On the occasions that I have followed such advice, I have gotten legal trobles in the form of a CHINS warrent due to my mother's ability to fake tears and say "I don't know what to do, Your Honor" in the most desparate way possible. I need to get away from this. I also have a child on the way that I want to take care of, I know I may seem immature but I understand that this child is not something that will ever go away and I am lucky that the woman that is having my child I love and I am engaged to her. I have a job, I get good grades, I've never missed a day of school, and I've yet to get a detention. I'm 16 and trying my best but no matter what I'm not wanted by my family. Any help out there???

Do you have a full-time job?

Do you support yourself 100%?

I have 2 part time jobs and yes I most definatly could

It is not "could"; it is "are".

If you are not doing it now, then you cannot be emancipated.

Massachusetts emancipation law is very limited:

Quote:

Quoting Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 201: Section 5 Minors; custody and education; marriage; effect

---

Section 5. The guardian of a minor shall have the custody of his person and the care of his education, except that the parents of the minor, jointly, or the surviving parent shall have such custody and said care unless the court otherwise orders. The probate court may, upon the written consent of the parents or surviving parent, order that the guardian shall have such custody; and may so order if, upon a hearing and after such notice to the parents or surviving parent as it may order, it finds such parents, jointly, or the surviving parent, unfit to have such custody; or if it finds one of them unfit therefor and the other files in court his or her written consent to such order. The marriage of a person under guardianship as a minor shall deprive his guardian of all right to the custody and education of such person but not of the care and possession of such person’s property. If a corporation is appointed guardian of a minor, the court may, subject to the right of his parents, or of the spouse of a minor, as provided in this section, award the custody to some suitable person. The court may revoke the appointment of a guardian if the party petitioning for revocation proves a substantial and material change of circumstances and if the revocation is in the child’s best interest.
