    Default Emancipation After Early High School Graduation

    I am currently 15, living in Idaho, and want to know if when I turn 16, (in June), if emancipation will be an option for me. I am going to Bridge Academy next year as a junior in high school, and plan to graduate early. My reasoning for this is I'd like to move out of a homophobic family (I'm not gay, but I strongly do not agree with my family's opinions on the subject, and really cannot stand them) and live in California on my own with a promised job there. If I graduate from high school early, is there a way I can legally get emancipated and be able to leave before I turn eighteen? It's always been a curiosity of mine.

    You haven't got a chance.

    Emancipation is not, and never was, intended to get children out of unhappy homes. It's intended to help minors who through no fault of their own find themselves needing to have the power switched to their name, etc. Think 'parents died in car crash'.

    Nothing you have posted suggests that you have a prayer of qualifying.
