    Default Can You Get Emancipated Before Completing High School

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: New Mexico. I am 16 years of age and I will be turning 17 in the January of 2015. I am graduating this year and I would like to be emancipated so I can legally live on my own when I go to college. I plan to go to Penn state after I graduate. My parents are in the middle of a divorce now and I will be choosing to give my dad custody of me. I was wondering since I want to get emancipated so I can leave the state if I have to still have a source of income or what I have to do to be able to be emancipated before I graduate.

    Default Re: to Get Emancipated and I Need Some

    1. When you're a minor child, you don't "choose" to give your dad custody of you. You can make a request upon the court and the court and decide how much weight is given to that request.

    2. If your goal is to be emancipated before you graduate, what will you do to TOTALLY and COMPLETELY support yourself? Transportation, Tuition, Room and Board, Medical insurance, clothing, incidentals, meal cards, and the list goes on and on and on and on (I have one in college).
