My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: I am 16 and will be 17 in July. I live with just my mom. She has recently started seeing this guy who is a very disgustful person. My mother and I have never got along

. I lived with my grandparents for most of my life until they both passed away in the recent years. There is a lot of verbal and emotional abuse caused by my mother. I have deep depression but have not been put on anything because she is too lazy to take me to the doctors. I have been trying to get out of this situation for awhile now, but no where in my town in hiring under the age of 18, at the moment. I would like to know if there is any way that I can go to a court system, or just move out between now and my 18th birthday. I don't have a job, yet, but my friends and their families are willing to give up a room in their house to help me out. If I just packed my things and left, would I get in trouble legally? Is it hard to get emancipated with no job? Is it expensive? Please, I would really like to know the answers to all my questions. Much thanks (:
