    Default Emancipation with Proof of Stable Home

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: TN I am 17 years old and currently living with my parents and Fiancee. He is moving to Colorado in about a week or so. My potential is great out there and after he (fiancee) moves he already will have a stable job and house living with his bother and girlfriend who are 22. No matter what I say my parents will not take anything I say into consideration they say they are thinking of the well being of me when the fact of the matter is for about 7 to 6 months we (my fiancee and I) aren't able to talk to them, the house hold is unhappy and we have tryd everything in our power to fix it and now moving to Colorado came up because his bother already lives out there and he can't deal with or stand the way the house hold has turnd. We have tryd talking to them, being nice, being mean, and everything in the book but all they say is I can't move and so on and so forth. If I have the paper work to show that I have a stable environment to live in out there so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to be eligible for an emancipation. with or without there consent. I have done research and have came up with a big deal of maturity, if you have dealt with cases like this I am an only child showing I already have more maturity there and i have been through a lot in my childhood that makes me the way that I am today and don't see maturity being a a downfall to the process. I appreciate the help i am just looking for some kind of closer and seeing if this could be an option. Thank you so much for your time.

    No, it is not an option.

    Unless your parents give their consent, you're staying where you are until you turn 18. There is NO CHANCE that a judge will emancipate a teenager to follow a boyfriend halfway across the country without a job or means to support herself.

    No matter how mature you think you are. (And if you were a quarter as mature as you give yourself credit for, you'd have read the stickies as you were told to and would know that the answer is NO.)

    His uncle also works out there and i already have a jobs set up for myself when i go out there, meaning i would have proof of not only him supporting me but i could support myself as well could it be an option then?

    No. You're calling him a woman. Fiancé is the word adult women use to describe their future husbands. You are 17, the word you're looking for is "boyfriend".

    His uncle also works out there and i already have a jobs set up for myself when i go out there, meaning i would have proof of not only him supporting me but i could support myself as well could it be an option then?
    Absolutely not. In order to qualify for emancipation, you must ALREADY be supporting yourself 100%, living on your own, with a record of doing so for anywhere from 6 months to a year. Additionally, if your parents object, you're not going to be emancipated.

    What's your rush? Leave when you're 18, if that is your wont. If it's meant to be, he'll wait.

    I also like to caution these young girls (why is it never the other way around) that you shouldn't do anything that would jeopardize your relationship with your parents. You're 17 and the chances of you being with him 5 years from now are slim to none and slim has left the building. You're going to need somewhere to come back to once he decides it's too much trouble taking care of you.

    Mature physically, not mentally.

    NO.Judges do not emancipate minors because they want to stay with their boyfriends. In the very rare cases when emancipation is granted, it's because the minor is ALREADY living on their own (not in someone else's house with that someone else providing some or all of the minor's support) and paying all their own bills, and NEEDS legal emancipation in order to have the light bill in their name and sign contracts for housing.
