My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Michigan [and possibly South Carolina.]
Please bear with me here,this is a little lengthy:
My boyfriend is 16,to be 17 in a little less than a month.[I know you guys probably read a lot of boyfriend-girlfriend cases,but this is needed,not wanted.] Anyways,his father [under influence of his own girlfriend who dislikes his son] sent him to live with his mother in March.His mother has a mental handicap,and does not work.Her disability checks aren't enough to support him or his younger sister either.So she stays with a man who is an alcoholic,just to have a roof over her head.
But about 3 [almost 4 now] weeks ago,a fight erupted between the mother and her alcoholic boyfriend.He said he had had enough,and said that her and her son had to move out by the end of that week.Needless to say,my boyfriend was very upset when he told me this.
With no other options [father refused to take him back],he was sent down here.He's with a friend of mine,but not for long [till the end of August].Which is bad,because I have nowhere else for him to go.Earlier we made a plan earlier to enroll in Job Corps together;but with him now here,he needs to be emancipated before we can do so.
Both parents have agreed to it,so my other questions are:
Where can I get the papers needed? Do the emancipation laws of Michigan apply here,or SC? Since his parents agree,does that speed the process up at all?
He wasn't doing well with either parent,and wasn't re-enrolled in school at his mother's.Not to mention some emotional abuse,if that means anything.Thanks!
