    Default Re: Chances of Emancipation

    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
