    Default Re: Emanipation for an Early Graduate in Florida

    I'll be a high school graduate (w/ honors).
    I can provide for my own and I have a steady job that covers such while finishing college.
    I'm over 16.
    My mother is allowing me to move out (covering the living away from home aspect).
    I'm not dependent on public works and benefits.
    I'm no doing this because of family issues, I'm doing this because I'll be living my life as an adult, but I'll still have the legal issues of a child, making some things VERY complicated.

    fsugirl44;812374]Okay, what you don't seem to understand is that, even though my dorm is paid for, that doesn't mean they HAVE to give me housing per their rules. I'm at their discretion, regardless of what anyone wants it's up to them. At that point, my mom can ask for the money back from the dorm deposit because she's in charge of the account.
    so let's throw up another roadblock since the dorm costs have been proven moot.


    I guess that would make an apartment cost moot as well so, mom can sign the lease, pay an entire year at a time, and have money left over.





    Even of they made an acception (which they probably won't due to competition for housing on state universities) my dorm is only paid for for one year, if I start in the summer and end in the following summer, I'd still be under 18 because of my late birthday making things extremely difficult.
    well that's not what you said before. You said your dorm was paid for with no limitation on it being for 1 year only/


    Your "food" comment was unnecessarily sarcastic and rude, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it.
    what's rude about that? That is "things required for life". Sorry you didn't specify what you meant. Not my fault (it's yours).


    What I meant was things like credit cards since cash is hard to deal with and I get my paychecks in check form,
    cash is hard to deal with? I thought you were bright. Cash is easy to deal with. Everybody accepts it (well, almost everybody),
    so I have to put it in a back acct, which I cannot get on my own until 18.
    your mom can open a joint account. If you use a nation wide bank, she can open one around your home and you could use the branch near whatever school you go to.


    Also, god forbid something were to happen legally, I couldn't prosecute without my mom.
    wow, now we are really making up crap to make it sound like you must be emancipated. Sorry but still no win.

    If I got robbed, assaulted, jumped, anything, my mom would have to be involved since I'm a "dependent minor". She could have to be taken away from her home while whatever comes of the proceedings while if I were to be able to do this on my own, she wouldn't be inconvenienced and I could take over what happened to me while I was away, not what happened to me but now has to happen to her, its simple, be responsible for your own actions and reactions, however, I cannot do that by myself, and I cannot put the responsibility off on my working mother.
    it is obvious regardless of graduating from high school, you are not mature enough to leave home. That means you wouldn't be emancipated anyway. In fact, it sounds like you should go to a local school until you are mature enough to be able to handle life issues both legally and intellectually.

    Your job is sufficient so that, while still going to school and getting better than average grades, you are able to pay the market rate for rent? Utilities? Food? Clothing? Transportation? Medical care? Insurance? Staples? School fees and supplies? All without any assistance whatsoever?

    You have a job where? As I recall, you are not even certain what school you will attend so how can you have a job WHILE attending college?

    oh, and what else you don't meet as far as requirements:

    1. That the minor is independent and able to support him or herself, and
    his or her child, if any
    are you actually able, right now, to support yourself fully? If not, you don't meet that qualification. Beyond that, a minor being independent usually means you are already living on your own. It's very difficult to argue you are independent when you are living in mommy's home.

    so, pack your bags and walk on out that door. Once you establish yourself and can show that you are independent and can support yourself, file for emancipation.

    The biggest obstacle I see is OP wanting to emancipate and then not having health insurance.

    I believe the OP should simply ignore us and go and do whatever she wants.

    She doesn't believe us, she doesn't understand the laws and she's here to try to prove herself to a bunch of knowledgeable people she doesn't know.

    In other words, she's being a teenager.

    I didn't read through all of the replies yet, so I apologize if someone already mentioned this.

    Why can't you get your prescriptions filled through a mail order pharmacy, and shipped to your dorm or apartment?

    And as for the OTC medications, why not just bring a supply of medications you think you might need to college with you? If you run out, surely your mom can order more online from Amazon, Drugstore.com, etc, and have them shipped to you.

    OP can most certainly get a bank account as a minor. My 16 year old daughter had a job, and has two savings accounts, and a checking account with checks and a debit card. I just had to open the accounts for her, with my name as a co-owner. Nothing unusual about it. When she turns 18, the accounts will convert to regular savings and checking, in her name only.

    Sounds like the OP is just making excuses for everything, because she's not hearing what she wants.

    And why all the different examples of buying drugs at different stores and pharmacies? People usually buy at one store or pharmacy. Mom could just go to the pharmacy and give them a letter stating that it is OK for the pick-up of meds.
    Yeah ... wouldn't be permitted for most things here. I could give permission for an adult child, friend or relative to pick up a prescription, but not one of my children.

    Laws vary by state, as do store policies.

    The OP has a point, and if she has medical issue that needs attending to, it is a valid one. It is also why I would recommend she attend school close to home, or attend a school where there is an adult relative that mom can grant permission to make these decisions on her behalf.

    Like I've said, this will not be the school's first trip to the rodeo when it pertains to a minor attending said school. OP would be better served by contacting the school and seeing how the school recommends it be handled rather than chase a pipe dream of emancipation.
