    Question What I Have to Do to Get Emancipated In the State of Virginia

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: i am 17 years old. i live with my father and my step mom and i am thinking about getting emancipated. when i am at home i am always cleaning and every night even if i cook or if my parents cook i am always doing the dishes unless i am not home. my father puts me down at times by pointing out that i have gain wait and i realy dont need him to do that. i am dating a realy nice guy and my dad will put him and his family down at times and it makes me feel like he doesnt want me to date. then there are times that i dont want to go to the place that they go to cause its not that intresting to me like it is to them but i still have to go. then my dad will have me put his shoes on him for him and take them off and even put his socks on for him and take them off and i am tired of it and a lot more. i just want to know what i need to do to get emancipated in this state...

    You need to be able to pay 100% of your own support. That means you, and only you, pay the market rate for your rent, utilities, clothing, food, medical care, transportation, insurance, school fees and supplies, and all the other incidentals of life. It does NOT mean that you go live with your boyfriend, or his family, or another relative, and have them pay part or all of your support, which is apparently what most kids think. It means that YOU and ONLY YOU are contributing to your support.

    As long as you are even one minute under 18, your dad gets to say whether you date or not, and if so who.

    And if you are emancipated, who do you think will do the cleaning and cooking for you then? The Emancipation Fairy?

    A screen name like "baby girl" will automatically eliminate you as a candidate for emancipation.

    Priceless.

    And, OP, at 17, while still going to school, the number of hours you'd have to work to show income sufficient enough to support yourself means you'll hardly have time to pee....much less date.
