As is explained by Arkansas Legal Aid,
How do I get emancipated?
There are 3 ways to get emancipated:
1. Get married. You need permission from your parents and the court.
2. Join the military. You need permission from your parents, and the military must accept you.
3. Go to court and have the judge declare you emancipated by getting a Declaration of Emancipation.
To get a Declaration of Emancipation, you have to prove ALL of the following things:
- You are at least 17 years old.
- You don't want to live with your parents.
- Your parents don't mind if you move out.
- You can handle your own money.
- You have a legal way to make money.
- Emancipation would be in your best interest.
Do I need my parents' consent to get emancipated?
If you are under 18 years old, you are considered a minor. Minors need parental consent and a judge's consent to get married. Minors also need their parents' consent to join the military. To be emancipated by a judge, a minor must give his/her parents notice of the court hearing, and the parents may go to court to contest the emancipation.
You're not 17, don't have parental permission to move out, and "I want to live with my boyfriend" is not something a court is likely to find to be in your best interest.
