Okay thanks for the information. At least I know it's not an option for me. Off the topic of Emancipation but instead of starting a new post :
1 - Will my mom have to sign papers to allow me to attend the college? What about if I need to get a student loan, can you do that at 16?

2- My dad legally has joint custody of me with "child initiated visit time". He pays no child support and we don't even have a real relationship (he lives in FL too). I am worried he will try to fight my mom and allowing me to go to college and move away (he is controlling like that..). Considering he still would have some legal rights to me he could stop it. My mom does have physical custody. Would he have any ground to be able to stop me?
