    Default Should I Get Emancipated

    i dont know if getting emancipated is the right choice, i live with my dad and his girlfriend right now, my mom passed last year so if i were to get emancipated i will have money and i think i can probly get food stamps. me and my dads girlfriend do not get along at all, so its very very stressful, he gets mad and verbally abuses me, and sometimes physical. i dont think it is a good place since it makes me not be able to move on about my mom, since i moved here around three days after my mom died, and my dad is always talking bad about her, i stay somewhere else every weekend and i am depressed and i think i would be much happier by myself, i can take care of myself too i have mostly all my life since my mom was always very sick.

    If you are being abused, please call CPS or 911. Or talk to your school counselor.

    Then, please read the emancipation "sticky" posts at the top of this forum.

    By the way, if you are emancipated, the minor support checks stop. No judge in any jurisdiction will emancipate you so that you can live on the state.

    And no judge in any jurisdiction is going to emancipate a minor who needs the state or county to support him with food stamps - not when he already has a roof over his head and food in his belly. Why should the taxpayers pay for your keep? Emancipation means that you are capable of supporting yourself WITHOUT help.
