    Default Texas empancipation from my parents

    i am almost 16 and when i get a job and some money together i want to be emanciated from my parents. What type of reasons do i have to have. I just want to leave to be with a very close friend of mine and my parents are trying very hard to keep us apart. I do not like my stepdad so i want to leave. Do you think the courts in Texas would let me be emanceated?

    The Texas law which provides for emancipation (“Removal of Disability of Minority”) requires that, once sixteen, you file a petition with a court and establish that you can care for yourself without adult involvement. That is, you should be financially self-supporting.

    You would submit your petition to the county court.

    You may find it helpful to consult a lawyer, but there is no requirement that you use one.
