Emancipation in Colorado

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Colorado

I am 17 and attending summer classes at the University of Northern Colorado to increase my credit hours when I start the school year in the fall, and therefore decrease my work load and time spent in college. I have graduated from high school, and I am younger than most students in my grade level because I skipped a grade in elementary school.
At the time, I am living in a University Apartment owned by UNC. My parents live about 40 miles away. They recently (and suddenly) decided that they want me to live at home instead of at the University Apartments, but if I do that, I will have to drive 40 miles to class every day, and I would have to live with my father, and we do not get along.
I need to know if emancipation is the answer or if I should find another way. I have money from my grandmother's inheritance, as well as a job (though I just started it) and a car, so I am doing well financially. I also have my college tuition payed for by Florida's State Tuition Fund.

There is no statutory provision in the state of Colorado for the emancipation of a minor.

That means there is no mechanism by which you may petition the court for emancipation.

Even if there were, it's highly unlikely that your petition would be heard before you turn 18.

And, "I want to live at school instead of at home" is not a valid reason for emancipation. Particularly if your parents are the ones paying your room and board.

I don't believe I said that. Also, I am paying for my own room and board, thanks. It really doesn't help to put words in my mouth, or to assume that I am unable to pay my own rent.

Oh, and to clarify, my parents are splitting up. My mom is leaving on Tuesday. I don't know who I am supposed to go with yet, but I want to be emancipated because I have my own place to live (the University Apartment) and I would rather not be forced to move yet again, the fourth time in the past month, when I am perfectly capable of supporting myself.

I know you didn't say one way or the other. I just mentioned it in case it was applicable.

But since there is no emancipation statute in CO anyway, it's a moot point.
