    Default Emancipation in Illinois

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Illinois
    I'll be 16 in November, and I want to get emancipated. My mom is fine with it, and my dad is dead so his opinion really doesn't matter. Since my mom is okay with it, what do I have to do?

    Are you currently self-supporting?

    no, i get survivors benefits from my dad, and I get more from that than I would with a part time job.

    If you're emancipated, you would no longer get the survivor benefits. Plus, you need to ALREADY be living outside of your home and capable of managing your financial affairs.

    So what's your plan?

    So what your saying is I can move out when I'm 16 without getting emancipated and my mom couldn't get charged with child neglect or anything?

    Where exactly are you moving to? With whom?

    (And no - that's NOT what I said)

    hopefully into government funded housing, like maybe two blocks away from my mom, and with my best friend.
    and sorry for assuming.

    You may have a hard time trying to convince a court to emancipate you to have a government agency take care of you (your housing)

    they dont take care of you. they provide low income housing (apartments) to people.

    That pretty much guarantees that the court will not emancipate you.

    Carla, have you read ANY of the other threads about emancipation?

    Really?
