    Default What's Needed for Emancipation in Florida

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of Florida. I was wondering because I've read up on some of the laws of Emancipation in Florida but I was wondering.. my bf is going to be turning 16 here in a couple months and he was planning on getting emancipated but the thing is I don't thing his dad will except it so I was wondering how exactly that would work. Does he need his parents to accept the emancipation or once he fills for it he just goes to court with his parents and proves to the judge he can provide and live on his own and the judge say you are no longer under you parents rule?

    His parents have to file.

    He cannot file himself.

    So, how is your 16 year old boyfriend going to support himself completely?

    He's first assistant manager over a gas station.. gets paid extremely well for it to.. his grandmother or someone has a fully paid off house set aside that no one uses that his grandmother is going to give him when he gets old enough to have it..

    But grandma doesn't think he's old enough yet?

    As you should already know from the stickied threads, he doesn't file for emancipation - in Florida, he needs to convince mom and dad to file for him.
