Im a 17 year old mother of a 10 month old baby boy. I have been living with ym father for the past 5 years since my parents got devorced. I have had problems with my father and it's due to the fact that he is an over-controling and strict man. My mother devorsed him for this same fact. I recently left AZ to live with my mother because of the fact that I have been sexually violated on numerous occasions and everytime I went to make a police report, my father dismissed them and simply told the police that I have "problems". I left in August, and my father claims that I cannot emancipate myself because he still has custody over me. I have tried to find the emancipation laws in Arizona...seein as to how I can't find any for NH. I am planning on living in AZ, but not under my father's care. I got my GED out here in NH, and am working part time. While in AZ i had WIC and was in the Healthy families program aswell as I was inloved with AHCCS and EMPAC because of my brother. So I am sure that I can go back to AZ and get a small apartment and head into community college on my own. My mother is more than willing to emancipate me, but since my father is trying to say that if I go back to AZ i have to stay with him, I'm trying to find out if it's possible for my mother to emancipate me here and if I will be able to go back to AZ on my own with my son without my father taking control of MY life...I'd appreciate the help, Thank you.![]()
