So in order to get emancipated I already have to be out of my house and living on my own and not with someone else?
My father has custody. My father scares me, why would i report him drinking if I am afraid he will fire me and or do other things to punish me for telling someone the truth. My mom was supposed to go to court Last April but her Attorney says she needs her own place. It is not that I am trying to get away because I do not like his rules, I obey everything. I think a lot of the things he does an says is completely unreasonable. I work 5 days out of a 7 day week, i maintain the grades I need to in school and do everything he asks me with my other siblings and when he asks to buy me things, I pick them up. Anyone will tell you that as well. My father is constantly being verbally abusive. I did tell my mom about it the last time he did threaten me but nothing had came out of it. I told him I didn't appreciate him talking about my business to her and that does not stop him. I found out they talked about me from my other siblings. My mother does know about his drinking problem. I have a student account which means he can take money whenever he wants to out of it so even if I say no he could still take it out, and he has taken all my money before and kept it away from me.
