    In the state of Pennsylvania, emancipation MAY be considered on a case by case basis, depending on your county. You would need to be able to prove to the judge not only that you've been living on your own, but that you are capable of supporting yourself 100%, with no help from anyone.

    That means no food stamps, either.

    How much are you making at your full time job? How long until you turn 18?

    Even assuming your county will consider emancipating a minor, you couldn't even get on the court calendar by August.

    I am saying that your chances of being emancipated before August are slim to none. You have not indicated that you qualify for it; we don't know if your county will do it in the first place; and you'll be 18 before it could be accomplished anyway.

    Wait it out.

    You have to understand, emancipation statutes aren't a process to get you out on your own, they are recognition that you ARE on your own and ought to be able to do certain things (like enter into contracts) that are denied minors in general.
