    Default Would I have a good case for emancipation?

    hello.
    i just turned 17. i live in los angeles...
    the reason i want to get emancipated is because my mother is holding me back in ny education....i am soposed to be a senior in high school but i am a couple credits behind so i wont be able to graduate this year...if i become homeschooled i can get my missing credits in time (or even faster) and be able to graduate on time like i was soposed to...and go to college right after as i want to do...

    as things are now...my mom not allowing me to be homeschooled and forcing me to go to regular school eventhough i tell her it's not going to be of any use because i wont be able to graduate anyways....i told her she is ruining my chances of getting a good education and she bassically told me she didn't care, "her rules are her rules"

    personally, i think that she is wrong and i can't see how anyone would side with her...she doesn't even have a good enough reason to not let me get home schooled...she was about to sign the papers to allow me but i did one little thing wrong and she decided to just shut me down....

    thanks in advanced to anyone who responds/reads....

    Read the Emancipation of Minors Act beginning at California Family code section 7000, and then come back, tell us your findings, and whether you qualify, along with your questions.

    Hey Clair! Good to know you're still around. I know this is off topic, but how are you feeling? Can you go to the Banter board for a few minutes?
