    Default Can You Get Emancipated if Your Home is Abusive

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Hi I'm 16 going on 17 in July. I'm currently living with my mother. My grandparents have custody but they live an hour away from my school, my work, and my friends. I do have a job i do good in school saving for a car but that is not a problem. I would like to stay where I'm at right now but my mother is very emotionally abusive. She will guilt trip me, she has slapped me and thrown my 8 year old sister across the room. I told her i would stay with her for a year and see how it went and then deciced what i wanted to do. My grandma is currently seperated from my grandpa and she doesn't want me to move back in with her (or according to my mom) i need to do something quick. i cant handle the abuse anymore feel very trapped and that my friends and school and my grandparents are my only escape. The worst part is she puts words in my mouth and she cant have a normal converation without making me want to cry and go kill myself. i need my own place, even if its only for 6 months or how ever long. i just cant deal with that stress its to much. please respond or email me ASAP. Thank you so much.

    Call someone about the abuse.

    You don't qualify for emancipation in any US state.

    Read the stickied threads.

    Are you actually in Hawaii, or did you start your post by saying "Hi" instead of identifying your state?

    We do not emancipate abused children. We put them in foster care or group homes. Or we place them with other relatives. But we do not emancipate them.

    No, the law will not change because of any but-what-if you can come up with.
