My question involves emancipation in tn
Im 16 years old and have been fighting my mom in court for 9 months over a custody case with my ex step father. The court is leaning towards her side because he has no legal gaurdianship over me. I choose to live with my him over my mom due to the fact that she is a chronic lier and a drug addict. She steals the money i get from my death benefits from my father that died two years ago. She has stolen 13,500 dollars of my money on her drug addictions. I have a job and am able to support myself with the possiblity of renting a room with my cousin who is 27. She will not sign on my permit or drivers license ue to the fact that i choose not to live with her ad her drug addicted boyfriend.
She has taken my sister from me and moved 50 miles away and is attempting to turn my sister against me. I am completly at a lose and need to know if i apply for emancipation of if the court will grant me it due to the fact there is no emancipation law in tennessee. I am currently a sophmore in my school making good grades and on the road to graduating. I have a job that gives me enough to pay rent, pay half on bills, and provide the basic necessitys of life. i just need to know what path i should take or should i even consider emancipation.
