    Absolutely not. Emancipation is not being supported by someone else; it is supporting yourself. If you do not have a job and cannot pay your own rent, food, clothes, utilities, medical care, transportation, insurance, and all the other incidentals of life, you cannot be emancipated. Even if you were to be living with someone else, you could not be emancipated without showing the judge that you COULD support yourself in the event that the person you were living with kicked you out, or got hit by a bus, or was transferred to New Zealand and could not/would not take you with them.
