My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Texas
I apologize for making another thread when their is abundance of threads related to this topic. The only thing I can't relate too is that I want to move out because I'd like to move in with a girlfriend or because I dislike my parents. Their is no physical or mental abuse in my house, just small arguments here and there but contributes little to the reasoning behind my need to become emancipated.
Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Simran, I'm currently 16 going onto 17 this upcoming September. I'm a multi-platform software developer, and investor. I also attend High School as a senior now and I'm projected t graduate this December. In 2011, I invested in the virtual currency "Litecoin" and "Bitcoin" and has given me a nice return of money. My only fear at the moment is cashing all of them out to USD because I could possibly be charged with money laundering because my parents not claiming it in taxes. I'm currently still holding them because the price might go up soon. With some of the money I've cashed out, I've invested it into gold which has already profited me if I sell at current prices. Btw, right now is a good time to invest in gold and silver, good prices. I do get small deposits into my savings account from Google because of the Android applications I currently have on the Google Play Store and ads that the free versions have. I also own 2 clothing lines that are now on auto-pilot with a nice return. My current project is an online jewelry store.
Being a minor limits me to other adventures I'd like to explore. I'd like to open 1-2 businesses in real life. What prevents me from doing so is my age. Aside from that, my current projects are getting harder to manage when I only have a savings account and can only do so much with it(A lot of limits). A checkings account would be perfect and a checking account for each of my businesses as well.
I currently have a job working for my city's parks and recs department. I like it, and it's very fun as well.
A lot of my online businesses when it comes to getting paid has to be under my parents' name. This is a bit of an issue simply because this gives my parent access to my profits and finacial doing. My parents at times has threatened to close an online account as a result of a small argument. I usually have to repeat plenty of times the reasons why it affects my businesses.
I do plan to get a driver's license soon(should be easy, a bit embarrassed to say that I've been driving since I was 13-14 with no citations to this date), this is a bit hard because my parents have been saying that would take me, but this has been told to me since I was 14. Not to mention that I've been told that one of the 3 vehicles they own isn't mine, it's still under my parents name and there have been instances where my parents would not let me take a vehicle to work because of an argument. I'd like to purchase my own vehicle to avoid this. I could give my parents the money to do so, but it would still be under their name making it an addition to their 3 vehicles and gives them every right to do what they do with the current vehicles.
Now another issue. My parents are forcing me to go to college. I currently have no intentions to do so at the moment. My mother is already enrolling me into some dual enrollment classes for me to take after school, but will affect my work schedule, so my mother said she would call my boss to tell her I quit, even though I wish not to. These classes are going to cost me some money, not much for the class but the books needed are quite costly. This will also affect me being able to graduate early this December. The time I'll be using to take this class can be paid time at my job or towards a new business idea. At the moment I don't plan to go to college, but if need be I will attend.
From my understanding, I would have to live elsewhere if I was to petition being 16, but not a requirement if I'm 17. I can support myself financially and manage my finances. I do have enough money to rent an apartment with no financial issues, but being emancipated is am issue. I also have a close aunt that I could live with. Not to mention, I do plan to continue my high school education. I do plan to petition once I turn 17. I know my parent's would not approve of this, especially if their still doing test on me. They always tell me that the first child will take the most stress and is considered a guinea pig for the parents to test on. Anyways, I would like to continue my life with my own plans and not my parents plans. I would like to know if the court would be in my favor and if emancipation is a good idea for me?
Thanks in advance.
