    The purpose of emancipation law is not so your girlfriend can shack up with you.

    Too bad. If she's ACTUALLY being abused and you ACTUALLY CARE about her, that's exactly what needs to be done.

    She's not a candidate for emancipation.
    She is being emotionly abused every day. We don't want to mess with child protection places because we don't want to get her put in a foster home of sorts where the foster parents are worse than hers. Also they would probably tell her parents to take care of her siblings because of the whole sibling rivalry things that are out there.

    Not happening. No one will rent to you until you're 18 years old. And marriage will not happen without parental consent from all sides.

    Horsepuckey. People who are being abused? Are more than happy to talk to CPS and even be placed in care if CPS finds it appropriate.

    Ask me how I know.

    You misunderstand what emancipation is. Despite what you KNOW from your 5th grade history class on the civil war, legal emancipation is not the procedure to liberate you from parental enslavement, but it is recognition of an already independent minor that needs relief from certain rules (the inability to enter into contracts such as leases).

    We don't "emancipate" the abused. We find them other placement (or correct the situation they are in).

    "Controlling" is what we adults call "good parenting." If she is actually abused, she should talk to a counsellor at school, the police, or if she can't figure out anyone else 1-800-4-A-CHILD will answer her questions.

    Ron, I think I love you in a completely platonic Internet-y kind of way.

    Neither are getting emancipated.

    - You do not hold full-time jobs.
    - You can not pay market value rent on your own apartments. Plural. One for you, one for her.
    - No one will rent to kids with no credit rating and no steady income even with parental permission

    Just in case you're misunderstanding, she will NOT be emancipated.

    Another "oh foster parents are evil" post? Really?

    You're both 15 years old for crying out loud. Neither of you have a clue about living as an adult in the real world.

    You're not getting married without judicial permission, and you're not going to find a landlord willing to rent to a couple of kids.

    Just ain't happening.
