My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Oregon
Hello everyone. I turn 16 in a couple of months and am planning on trying to become emancipated. I reside with my mom and step-father in their home, though we mostly leave each other to do our own things. I have a 3.5 GPA average and I'm also graduating a year early from online school. I have my permit and a car that I pay for gas and insurance for. I also pay for my cell phone bill and my clothing and a lot of the food that I eat. I've had a job for the past 6 months and I earn about $600 a month. I make and go to my doctor/dentist appointments myself and pick up my own medicine from the pharmacy. I have a few friends as well as a girlfriend who would allow me to live with them if I don't find an apartment of my own. I believe that I am mature and responsible enough to handle myself without any sort of parental supervision, but I'm unsure of what exactly I need to prove to the court to make them approve this request when it comes time. Also, does it matter whether or not my parents consent if the court deems me fit of living on my own? Thank you so much, R.
