    Default Is it Easier to Get a Guardian or to Get Emancipated

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: Nc , hello my name is Emily I will be 17 in 3 months , however my question involves change of custody & emancipation . I'm wondering if it's easier to go thru the process of getting emancipated or if it's easier to get my change of custody to my aunt . In addition I know my father will not agree to let me go , and my mother isn't a part of my life , what's the process to go about this ? Someone help please !

    Based on the information you provided, neither is going to happen. Time to put on your big girl panties and learn to get along with dad.

    If your father will not agree, there's nothing you can do until you turn 18. Good luck.

    Given that about 99% of minor petitions for emancipations fail, and that your aunt could not take custody without your father's consent, doesn't sound as if either is likely to happen.

    Are you living on your own and paying 100% of your own support (which includes but is not limited to rent (market rate, not a token few dollars for staying in someone else's spare bedroom), utilities, food, clothing, medical care, transportation, insurance, school fees and supplies, staples) while still going to school (in season) and getting better than average grades? If not, you can safely consider that you will fall among the 99% and not the 1%.
