16 yr old need for emancipation due to school

[panther10758]

The only "opinion" that matters is teh judge. Read the Statute posted and begin to make sure it meet requirements. First off I would say wouyld be a job and parental consent (both parents) That for starters

parental concent wouldnt be a problem,the job wont be either.

[panther10758]

Right now you have neither. Work on those first. Parental consent means "both" parents and they have to begin process!

The statute does not require initiation of emancipation by both parents, although if the non-moving parent has custody rights and opposes the petition in most cases the odds of it being granted could be expected decrease significantly.

Florida also does not require the minor to have employment. Instead it requires:

A statement of the minor's character, habits, education, income, and mental capacity for business, and an explanation of how the needs of the minor with respect to food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other necessities will be met.

In most cases this means that the minor has a job or sufficient source of income for self-support. It may be posslbe to satisfy that if the school will be providing for the necessities of life (although you would have to both be admitted and have a plan for support when you're not in school.)
