    Exclamation My Parents Won't Let Me Get Emancipated

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Kentucky
    OK i live in Kentucky . im 16 and my parents are allowing me to date my boyfriend who is 21. in Kentucky 16 is age of consent. and they gave me permission of course .
    i want to be emancipated because my mom is constantly letting people move in with us. and its crowded im having to share all parts of my life that i would rather not.
    i'm terribly afraid for my boyfriends sake , i have 9000$in the bank supposedly from what my mom says but at times she tells me 3500$ from a settlement when i was in a wreck about a year ago she wants me to give her half my pay checks and half of what ever money i get from the settle met . and i believe she tell the authorities me and my boy friend have had sex <which of course we haven't> and have him placed in jail for false accusations. she also takes care of a mentally disabled women . who is about 34. she had a baby from my moms ex husband. the baby is now three. she was technically raped by the man . but my mom is very verbally and mentally abusive to the girl. <34 yr old> if the police found out about the father my mom and boy friend the ex and his wife and others could all be put in jail. . my mother uses this girl as a slave there has even been several occasions were she has smacked the 34 yr old really hard and pulled her to the ground. and poured anointing oil on her and told her she was the devil . the .34yr old has cried about how she does about all the work in the house. my parents are also going to force her to give custody to them of the 3 yr old . . the 34 yr old . is very depressed . she is hardly ever allowed to shower .and has very bad hygiene . my mom curses at her . calls her fat , tells her she ruined her life and many more things. my moms boyfriend constantly threatens her with things such as no TV for long periods of time. when she is at my grandmothers she inst allowed to hold her own baby , here she is barely allowed.. my mom abuses her . i have found my self standing up for her and only to make it worse. me and my sister would stand witness to these abusive behaviors. and i am yelled at for simple things . , for small things they threaten me about my boyfriend. and i only want to be happy . if i got a job <i'm age 16> and i could move in with my boyfriend or my friends mother <who would gladly take me > could i get the 34 yr old ,her baby, and me out with out parent consent of emancipation? my only issue is i love my parents but i cant take it anymore. i find my self in a back room crying my eyes out , because i cant handle it , my stress level is so high my grade point average is dropping from A's and B's to C's and D's. i need help . what can i do for the 34 yr old if not for myself. the 34 yr old has been living with us for 7-8 yrs, and this has gone on . and if i get her out . i will be basically locked in my own home and my mom will force me into depression because of her hatred towards me . that will be newly found when i leave.
    could i get a grant to emancipated with this , the 34 yr old could tell u a lot , i dont want my parents in jail .
    thanks

    You are not getting emancipated to live with your boyfriend. You should report all the goings on to police, children services and adult protective services.

    You do not qualify for emancipation and there is no way a court would - even if you qualified - emancipate you so you can go and live with your boyfriend.

    Can the 34 year old not live with anyone else? Family? Other friends? You should help her find a more stable situation if there is one. You can't get out yourself, but that doesn't stop you from helping her.

    Actually, if the goings on are as OP states and an investigation proves the allegations to be existent and illegal, mom n dad may be in jail for a while. There is a definite difference between the practice of BDSM, in a household, with a fully mentally capable and willing slave and the illegal exploitation of a mentally challenged adult.

    To fill in the lines between what you asked and what Doggy said: Even if your parents agreed to let you live elsewhere, there's no chance that you'd qualify for emancipation in the situation described. Emancipation is not a way to allow children to escape parental "tyranny." It's a recognition of already independent children that need relief from certain age laws (such as the inability to enter into contracts).

    If your parents don't want you to be emancipated then you're not going to be emancipated. Even if you qualified, which you do not, it is rare in the extreme that the state will emancipate a minor over the objections of her parents.
