Im 16 living with my mom (she's in debt, has a history of drug problems including meth, verbally abusive, and sometimes physically abusive) and wanting to get emancipated, so that i can finish my education and get my life in the right direction. i have evidence of being able to be independant (lived with Dad for 6 months, lived with friend for over a year, and my ant for 4 months), all with little to no help from any adults. i dont have a good transcript due to constant moving and relocating (due to my mom), but when im attending school i have a high gpa (currently 3.7). I have a lot of working experience thats under the table because i was too young to get actual pay checks, but no job yet due to my most recent move to oregon. my mom is going through another alcohal/drug relapse and yet again im unable to go to school (20 minute commute, my mom is my only ride to school and for the past 4 days shes been getting home around 1 am, wasted, causing a drunk rampage or dramatic drunk scene). this isnt the first time she's relapsed, but this time i want to get emancipated so that her problems no longer affect me, and my school. My question is.. what are my chances, according to the state of Oregon, of actually getting emancipated, and if so, what steps do i need to take first to getting that done a.s.a.p. Plus any input or advice BEFORE i get into this shindig would be awesome. Thanks!
