Emancipation in Two States

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Texas (I think)

I am 20 years old. I will be 21 in May. Believe it or not my no good father is still haunting me. This question comes out of frustration with FAFSA. I am in college in IL and I plan to go to law school afterwards and stay here in IL. My father took out two huge loans in my name and I have not seen a penny of them. Now he wont submit on my FAFSA but the FAFSA says I can't submit it without his information even if he does not pay.

I completely support myself, I work 2 jobs sometimes 3 and I'm putting myself through school. I live in IL and I haven't lived in texas for 3 years. He's holding me back and ruining the credit i worked so hard for.

So my questions are

1. am I too old to file for emancipation?

2. if not, which state to i file in?

3. will this have any effect on the loans he took out on me?

Yes, you're too old to file for emancipation.

At the age of 18, you're automatically emancipated.

Meet with a financial aid counselor at your school. Your situation is not unique, they will be able to point you in the direction of other forms of aid that do not require the FAFSA.

If I am too old for emancipation, why can my father still take out loans in my name? How do I stop him from putting me into debt?

That is called identity theft, and sadly enough most identity theft is one relative stealing another's identity, often parents.

File a police report, and a fraud alert. Understand that your father may go to jail.
