according to that link, you have to show you are capable of supporting yourself for at least 3 months by living by yourself for 3 months. So, if you move out today, you can apply for a hearing after March. By the time you get everything in court and all, you should just about be turning 18.
I wouldn't waste the money. Either find alternate living arrangements that your parents will allow or tough it out until you turn 18 and then leave.
and what do you mean you have a job in construction? Lat I knew you have to be 18 to be able to work in the construction industry; OSHA regs and state labor laws. I haven't checked for Arizona but I haven't seen any state yet that allowed kids under 18 in construction.
edit: I stand corrected. Arizona limits construction to those 16 and over but there are still restriction for under 18 that weigh heavily on what you can do in construction:
Prohibited Employments of Persons Under the Age of Eighteen
Quote:
In Arizona, the prohibited occupations (unless a variance is granted), for all persons under the age of 18, are:
1. Manufacturing or storing explosives, except those retail establishments handling small prepackaged arms ammunition.
2. Occupations as a motor vehicle driver or outside helper, except for incidental driving and the person has a valid license and either the total driving time does not exceed 2 hours per day or 25% of work time, or the total mileage is fewer than 50 miles per day.
3. Mine or quarry occupations.
4. Logging.
5. Occupations involving power-driven woodworking machines.
6. Occupations involving exposure to radioactive substances and to radiation in excess of .5 REM per year.
7. Occupations involving power driven hoists with a capacity exceeding 1 ton or an elevator, except the operation of an automatic elevator incidental to employment.
8. Occupations involving the operation of power-driven metal working, forming, punching or shearing machines.
9. Occupations involving, slaughtering, meat packing, processing or rendering or the operation of machines for such purposes.
10. Occupations involving the operation of power-driven bakery machines.
11. Occupations involving the operation of power-driven paper products machines.

I tried for other living arrangements. Its out of the question. About the job. Its just picking up the tools after they are done. I heard the state also gives you money for staying in school also. Do i have to file any papers so that i can live by myself for 3 months? Thanks for the link btw.
you have to have your parents permission.
Kind of a conundrum considering your are trying to become emanicipated, isn't it?
Unless you have your parents' permission, you cannot move out.
Unless you have already moved out, you cannot be emancipated.
Which adds up to, you cannot be emancipated without parental permission.
