    Default How to Get Emancipated at 15

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Michigan


    So my mom is verbally abusive. I have gotten hit a few times, and I don't want to live there anymore. I'm to the point I'm suicidal. I'll be 15 in a few weeks, I can get a job with my boyfriend's employer, and his best friend will let me stay with them. I need help. How can I get emancipated?

    You can't. Period.

    Call child protective services and report the abuse.

    See the thousands of other threads about emancipation on this site. It's not happening. That's not what emancipation is for. If you're being abused, report it. Tell a counselor at school or a teacher or the cops.

    I am not familiar with the state of Michigan, but in my state a parent can legally hit their child in certain circumstances. Spankings (for example), while not popular in the media, is not necessarily abuse. If you are being truly abused, talk to someone at your school.

    May I suggest instead try talking to someone like a counselor at your school, avoid text communications, and stay off the internet. Text communications tend to cause depression in teens due to peer pressure and other factors, and the internet will only make you feel terrible in general.

    The last time I told the cops about it, I was placed in foster care, and I don't want to go through that again.

    Last time I did, I got put into foster care. Not getting ripped away from my boyfriend again.

    You will not be emancipated. Even if.

    Before we travel down that path, if you run away both you, he and whomever harbors you can face serious criminal charges.

    There is only one state where a minor under the age of 16 can be emancipated; that state is not Michigan; even in that one state to be emancipated that young you'd better either be a world-ranked athlete or spend your spare time as an extra in the Hunger Games movies. Otherwise, it ain't happening. Not even if.
