I live in arkansas and I really want to be emancipated when I turn 16. My dad has no job and my sister's have been paying the electric bill and buying food and other things. But they both are moving out soon. My mom lives near by and she helps sometimes but I've lived with her before and she is an alcoholic and she is verbally and physically abusive. She doesn't leave bruises often, it's mainly just slapping. And she often uses drugs. I can't tell you what kind cause I honestly dont know. Also she is a bartender and has no exact schedule, but she is usually gone from afternoon to 5a.m and sometimes later. She is very undependable and I'd rather not live with her. I'm hoping to apply for a work permit so I can get a job while I'm fifteen and save up enough to live in housing. Do I have good enough reasons to be emancipated?
