Is Getting Emancipated Very Hard?

[Maxima Lover]

I sure hope this is a joke. By the way you've posted, NO judge would emancipate you.

Ok........getting A Full Time Job Would Be Hard I Think........cuz I Go To School.......and Everything

Well of course it would be hard... Going to school is important, your education is important!!!!

I repeat myself as to why you feel you need to be emancipated?

[aaron]

Motives really aren't the issue. The issue is whether the minor meets the criteria for emancipation as defined by the state, and Kentucky has no emancipation statute.

i was just interested in this.....i knew nothing about emancipation....and nobody will tell me clearly what it is......? i don't like being made fun.....of and it was not a joke.......

Being emancipated means (among other things) that you can support yourself 100%.

If you cannot do that, then the discussion is over.

[aaron]

As you have been told, the availability and definition of emancipation varies by state, and your state has no emancipation statute. What part is unclear?

[britney1990]

ok..lets say i could support myself 100% then.....what would i do?

[cbg]

In your state, wait until you are 18, because THERE IS NO EMANCIPATION STATUTE.

[britney1990]

so when i'm 18 does that mean........i can go out on my own?

If you are 18 and a high school graduate, then you have reached the age of majority in Kentucky and can live where you want.
