    Default I Want to Know if I Can Get Emancipated

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: California
    My mom has gotten drunk with her boyfriend and friends and came home to harass me at like 3 am
    My mom has beaten me before to the point where she has left bruises on me legs because she was kicking me and hitting me while I was curled up in a ball
    She has dragged me by my hair before
    She comes home at very late hours still when she gets off work at 5-6
    We haven't had a stable home in months
    She emotionally abuses me, she makes me cry for whatever reason at least 2 times a month to the point where I have anxiety attacks. She has told me stuff like "I'm never going to keep a job" and "I won't finish college" and "that I never try" when I get good grades and always do what she tells me to do
    She has been beating me since I was 8.
    She abandoned me when I was 3, and came back into my life when I was 6
    She's he got a DUI 2 years ago
    She always puts herself first.
    I am 15, I turn 16 on September 29. I know I need to have a job and it is my goal to find one so I can support myslef. I just want to know if these are valid reasons to get emancipated. Thank you for your help

    No, these are not reasons to be emancipated.

    If you are being abused, contact child services.

    You do not appear to qualify for emancipation under CA law.

    If this is really happening to you, then you should speak to a teacher, counselor, principal, or call the police or CPS. If you are being abused, you can get help. But, abuse does NOT give you the right to be emancipated.

    And...in order to work, you need a work permit from school. And your hours are limited by law. There is no way you could support yourself on those hours.
