    Default Re: Emancipation to Attend Out of State College Living Off Campus

    Getting your parents off your back is not what emancipation is for. Since you are residing in Connecticut, JK is right. There is no chance you're going to get emancipated in your current circumstances. Despite what you think you know of the word, emancipation is not intended (nor can it be used in your state) to escape parental enslavement. Rather, it is the recognition of an ALREADY INDEPENDENT minor who needs relief from certain things denied him such as being able to sign contracts.

    I apologize if I keep explaining in a way that people don't seem to understand, because you and a few others are misinformed. I am fully aware of what emancipation is, and what is needed to do it, and what circumstances it falls under, etc. When I say I want my parents off of my back, I don't mean legally in any way (mentioned in another reply, so maybe you didn't see that). I am looking for the legal way, IF ANY, to move so that my father allows me to actually follow through with the move. Due to the replies, I can see that my father was most likely wrong about needing to switch guardianship. Therefore, if this is true, I can now tell him --with backup support from this thread and other sites that I have been researching-- that no such legal work is required at all. This in turn means he will be off my back, I move, and everyone is happy (:

    If your parents consent, you can go.
    If your parents do not consent, you wait until you turn 18.

    There are no other options in your situation.

    Simply trying to go to another state for college. I'll be paying out of state tuition for one year regardless, and have no interest in trying to finesse in regards to tuition, FASFA, etc.

    Everyone is saying I simply need permission, but I don't know how that would look on paper since I would be a minor out of state and off campus. If I had said I was going to rent an apartment with an adult while attending the college, the situation shows the legal issues clearer (possibly) in regards to me not only being a minor not living w parents, but also out of state. Since the college will not become my "guardian" (which would be the case if I lived on campus obviously), I don't know how any government official would accept a minor living 1k miles from home without a legal guardian/some other similar setup (I highly doubt there would ever be snooping from gv/DCFS/etc, but colleges require all of this info, and they could see it as a legal issue). I personally just want to move without any legal hassle, but my parents are worried about liability.
    17 year olds go to out of state college all the time. And no the college doesn't become your guardian when you live on campus. You have legal guardians - your parents! If they give permission you can live where they say.

    I'm sure your parents will talk to an attorney and the school you wish to attend about this. Based on what you have said about your dad. I don't see him taking any info from the internet as fact and he shouldn't.
