    Default Re: Would My Case Be Strong Enough

    I was asking since it is being said that in order to qualify you have to be on your own completely I was trying to get clarification on what that meant. My father has threatened to fire me before, so if I were to tell the truth about things he does in the business I have no doubt that he will make my life at home horrible and or try and make me quit my job. My dads girlfriend is not my Mother. There have been many times where he has chose his girlfriend over me and my siblings, I do not think that is right. My father taking my money that I work for to buy beer and stuff for deer camp, but not take me to the doctor, I again think that is wrong. I have asked to go and I have said I will schedule myself, but again my father would not allow me to do that and he would become very angry and lash out.

    In order to qualify for emancipation you need to have already moved out of the house with either the direct or implicit permission of your parent(s), be paying or at least have the means to pay 100% of what it takes to support yourself (that means market-rate rent, utilities, food, clothing, health care, insurance, transportation, staples, school fees and supplies, etc. etc.; it does not mean paying a token to live in someone else's extra bedroom and paying your car insurance), and getting better than average grades.

    Since you have neither moved out nor obtained permission to move out, you fail on eligibility right there.

    It also does not mean needing getting the $300 a month your mother gives your father for your support.

    It does not matter if you pay for your phone or other things or your father does. If he wants to take them away from you, he can. When will you be 18? You can move out then. You need to find another job when you turn 18 and move out. I don't think working with your father will be a good idea after you move out.
