My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Georgia
Here is my reasoning: My father is emotionally, and has been in the past, physically abusive. He is a felon with multiple drug related charges yet continues to abuse cocaine whenever he finds the money. He has driven me several times to the point of self harm and once put me in the hospital with a concusion (the physical abuse).
I have read extensively on the topic of emancipation but do not want to pursue until I know for sure there is a possiblity.
-My mother approves and will consent to it, but my father will most likely do his very best to prevent it.
-I am 16 and my grades are above exceeding (all A's with the occasional B).
-I have multiple counselers and church officials willing to provide a statement.
-I have not moved out of my parents house, under the control of my father, but will have several options of a place to live once I am emancipated (and can provide proof of this). If granted I will be living with my sister who is a veteran veteren of the United States Army and would require that I pay a portion of the rent, utilitiy, and grocery bill. She is willing to provide a statement verifying this as well.
-I am starting a job soon and will be able to pay rent and provide for myself once I have (and will be able to provide proof of this- keep in mind, if you will, that I will wait a few months before filing so I will have proof of a steady income to meet the requirements of the place I will be living at).
Ihave read most of the posts previously on such situations but would prefer my own to be evaluated individually, so please do not refer me to previous threads, because I have most likely read them.
