    Default Is It Possible for My Granparents to Keep Me from Being Emancipated

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Virginia

    I am currently seventeen, holding down two jobs, and looking to live my life myself.
    I was looking for a way to get the forms and do everything I can to make it possible. I just need help finding a way to do this. I will have my license before I graduate next year.
    Is there any help for me?

    If your grandparents are your legal guardians, then if they do not agree to your emancipation it will not happen. It may not happen anyway, since emancipation is quite rare and most petitions are denied, but if you do not have the support of your legal guardians, toss it in right now because it ain't in the cards.

    You are almost 18. Focus on saving for first/last month rent. security deposit on the apartment and utilities and creating an emergency fund. Then when you turn 18, move out. A far better use of your time and money than a likely fruitless emancipation petition.
