    Question 15 Year Old Wants Emancipation

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: MAINE.
    I'm 15 years old, and lately my dad has been emotionally and mentally abusing me. He calls me a dirty whore, and says stuff like its not like the whole town hasn't already seen you in a bra and underwear. He's told me I was stupid and I just can't handle it. My mother doesn't live with us but she isn't fit to be a mother. She can barely take care of her self, let alone me. I just want to know if there is a way that i can become emancipated before I'm 16 cause i honestly don't think that I can handle my fathers abuse. I don't have a job because my father won't let me get one. I do have a place that I can stay and my mother would be willing to give me money each week so i can pay for things. What should i do and how should i do it?

    Emancipation means that you are completely self-supporting. Paying your own rent, utilities, medical care etc. It does not mean you're staying with a friend and getting money from Mom.

    If you are being abused, talk to your school counselor or call CPS/DHS.

    This, right there, with no other information needed, is sufficient to guarantee that NO, you CANNOT be emancipated.
