My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Illinois
I want to become emancipated when I am 16 and live with my friend Jean at her mom's house in Kewaskum, WI and i live in Johnsburg, IL. Living here with my parents hasn't been emotionally healthy for me and sometimes physically. The emotional distress causes physical distress to me. They emotionally abuse me and when I get emotionally distressed it causes me to starve myself and not want to eat or do anything.(physically unhealthy). I'm 14 at the moment and I turn 15 in January. I know what I have to do to get emancipated. I'll be getting a job pretty soon and earn money. I have lots of friends and family and school social workers and teachers and such to back me up as witnesses or proof to my emancipation that I am mature enough to be emancipated. My question is, am I allowed to move in with Jean if I get emancipated? If I talk to my parents about getting emancipated they will agree to it I just don't know how to start up the process and I'd like to find out first if I'm allowed to move in with Jean. I would be going to Kewaskum High and I'd pay for rent, food, clothing, etc. I can provide for myself quite easily I just need to know if I can be staying with them when I do get emancipated. And once I earn enough money I've been looking into this community college program up in West Bend, WI that is 15 minutes away from where Jean lives. So my education will be covered. I know I'm young and it's not just because I don't like my parents. Like I've been hospitalized because of my parents that's how bad they make me emotionally and mentally unstable at times.
