    Question How Long Does Emancipation Take

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Washington.

    I am 17 years old and have a 2 year old little girl. I have been working as a waitress for 10 months now and just recently picked up an under the table house cleaning job. I have my own bank account, drivers licence, and will have my GED completed on the 20th of this month. I moved out of my parents house when I was 14 while I was pregnant shortly after moved back in than moved back out when I was fifteen. I just recently moved back in with my mother after a horrible abusive relationship with my daughters father. I could easily afford my own apartment but am not legaly aloud to sign a lease hense forth am considering emancipation. I will be 18 this coming october and want to know if this process will take longer than it is worth being that i have 10 months until I turn 18 or if it will take a couple months i would be one happy camper because my mother drives me insane with her boyfriends that are not much older than I am. lol thank you for your time and looking forward to a response

    The chances of a WA court emancipating you are virtually nil.

    You are 17 with a 2 year old child - that tells the court that you need more adult supervision and not less. It indicates quite clearly that you're not responsible.

    I'm sorry - but you're not going to be legally emancipated. Stick it out until you're 18.

    Not your question, but you know that working "under the table" is going to cost you money, right? Search this site for posts about the misclassification of workers.
