Steps to Get Emancipated

[cbg]

I think that's exactly what you should do.

[PercyCat]

Okay, thank you, anyways.

[Mr. Knowitall]

Are ya'll going to sit here and tell me that it isn't possible when I know it is. Or will ya'll just tell me the steps to do it? Haha Or I can just wait til court and have them explain it to me.

Did I say it wasn't possible? I will say this: If you are unable to read, you're not a good candidate for emancipation.

You plan to go to juvenile court for your crimes and tell the judge, "Can you issue an order so I don't have to live at home? My friends told me you will do that for me"? That should give everybody a good chuckle.

[PercyCat]

Why do you have to be rude? I wasn't, so why do you?

No, I will give them a reason why I should move out, but I will explain that reason with the judge. And No, the Police are the ones that told me to ask for it(the information on emancipation and process of it) because I explained my situation. The Police thought it might've been a good choice/resolution for my situation.

[Mr. Knowitall]

Actually, you were quite rude. And you didn't even show the basic courtesy of reading what had been posted before sounding off.

Let's try this again: Emancipation in your state is extremely limited in scope, and is about the right to enter into binding contracts and to conduct business, not the right to move out of your parent's home.

Juvenile courts tend to order juvenile offenders to keep living at home under their parents' rules, not to let them move out and avoid supervision. But if you tell the court you prefer to be placed in a group home or juvenile detention, the court may be willing to accommodate you.

[PercyCat]

Okay, well I wasn't trying to sound rude, my fault, sorry about that. And yes Emancipation is that. But what if your parent is willing to let you move out if you are emancipated. Also would the Judge let you move in with the person you committed the "crime" with? Because my father is willing to sign custody of me over to my friends mother. Because they used to do that when my mother and father were teenagers, because that's what they did.

[cbg]

Let's pretend for a moment that I think the court is going to allow you to move out at all.

No, the judge is NOT going allow you to move in with the person you committed the crime with. Far more likely that you'll be told to keep away from that person altogether.

Adults on probation can have their probation revoked if they grab a burger with someone else who has a criminal record, let alone live under the same roof. Emancipation is the granting of legal adulthood. You don't get to pick and choose which laws apply - with limited exceptions, either you're an adult or you're not. If you're an adult you get treated like one, and adults who have committed crimes are not allowed to associate with other people who have committed crimes.

Welcome to adulthood.

[PercyCat]

Hmm. Well I'll just see what happens then. Thank you much!

[Mr. Knowitall]

But what if your parent is willing to let you move out if you are emancipated.

If your parents are willing to let you move out, and a court grants you emancipation such that you can enter into contracts, then you're for all intents and purposes independent of your parents. But leaving the legal hurdles aside... where do you picture yourself living and how do you imagine that you'll support yourself?

Also would the Judge let you move in with the person you committed the"crime" with?

Generally it's the opposite - the court will typically want the offender to have no contact with their partners in crime during their period of probation.

Because my father is willing to sign custody of me over to my friends mother.

Leaving aside for the moment that "sign[ing] custody of me over to my friends mother" is not emancipation, and that we've heard nothing about your mother's feelings about this, I find it highly unlikely that a court would see that as a good idea.

[PercyCat]

My mother doesn't have any rights to me whatsoever. She, well I don't really know where she is. My father has complete custody of me. And I am aware that by my father signing custody of me to my friends mother, that that is not Emancipation. But I'd rather live with her than with a family member. And I am capable of getting a job to support myself if the judge did grant me Emancipation. And to note, this is the first time ever I've gotten in trouble with the law, ever. I'm hoping they will give one more chance to prove to them that it was a mistake, and that it won't happen again.

And my friends' mother wants me to move in with her because she knows how my father is.
