My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Louisiana
i'm 17 years old and i have been considering emancipation for three years now. however, i'm worried that the court system will say that i have no grounds for emancipation. my mother has mental issues that she refuses to deal with, letting them pile on me instead. it is affecting my school and social life. i also do not have a job but i know i am mature enough to hold one down. i'm in honors an AP courses at school, which should warrant that i am mature enough to take care of my self. i'm also not sure if emancipation is the correct legal procedure; my mother collects social security for me every month because my father passed away when i was 7. i have looked into the basics of emancipation and it says that your guardians are completely free from financially supporting you. does this mean i will be unable to collect the social security instead? my father also left money in an account that will help to pay for college and tuition. will i be able to access this as well? is it possible to go about this a different way in which i am able to receive this money necessary for things like housing, food, and tuition? i am only a junior in high school so obviously i am unable to support a full-time job.
