I am a 16 year old female, and I would like to know how to get emancipated for the folllowing reasons:
1) Cps has removed me from my mothers house twice; once alone and the other time with my littler sister
2) I have lived with both of my aunts, and I am now "supposed" to be living with my aunt whom married and african man and did anything he asked, she told me that all i had to do was take care of the house, and take care of my littles sister. I was cooking and cleaning and raising my sister 24 hours a day. Myself and my aunts husband did not get along at all. I was threatened to get kicked out several times. My aunt and her husband got into a disagreement and split up and we were then evicted out of our house. I asked to live with my best friend and her mom, and my aunt said yes, it was supposed to be temporarily, but.....
3) I am now still living with my bestfriend and her mom. I go to school ,and I go to work. I recently found out that my aunt listed me as a runaway so that she and my sister can get food stamps( I have talked to my aunt off and on for about 8 months, I have been living her for about 1 year and a half, and everything had been cutt off from me I dont have any insurance, medicaid, nothing, i need to go to the hospital for problems that I have, but I can't.
4) it is hard having to buy deoderant, pads, toothpaste, etc when I only receive about 180 dollars every 2 weeks. I have to pay for all school supplies, in fact anything that involves school and needs money i have to pay for i dont get my own money for myself. the only thing that my best friends mother supplies me with is a roof and food. I sleep on the couch.
5) being a teenager and supporting my self with my check is hard, and i Need things that I would like to take care of myself, such as my medicare, but I cant because I can only do so much for myself, my aunt isnt doing anyhting for me and i need to be able to do these things myself, i think it would be easier if I had control of these things, so that I can take care of them and not rely on others. My aunt said she would sign me over, because she is my legal guardian, but I dont know how to go about getting emancipated.
6) I am indeeed college bound, and I have heard, that getting emancipated, the state can help me with this
