    Default Same Old Story

    Ok, same story as everyone else. I need to get emancipated. But like most, I'm only sixteen and I don't think my mom will even consider it. I have a job, I have a liscense and I have a place to go. I need to know if there are any ways around getting it done with out the parent's signature. And please, no smart remarks, I noticed some people get smart with people with real questions. I just need some advice.

    You can file your own petition for emancipation...
    Quote Quoting Virginia Code § 16.1-331. Petition for emancipation.
    Any minor who has reached his sixteenth birthday and is residing in this Commonwealth, or any parent or guardian of such minor, may petition the juvenile and domestic relations district court for the county or city in which either the minor or his parents or guardian resides for a determination that the minor named in the petition be emancipated. The petition shall contain, in addition to the information required by § 16.1-262, the gender of the minor and, if the petitioner is not the minor, the name of the petitioner and the relationship of the petitioner to the minor.
    Typically the court will want to know where you will be living, how you will support yourself independently, and that you are sufficiently mature and capable of managing your own personal, social and financial affairs.

    But that's not the end of the story:
    Quote Quoting Virginia Statutes § 16.1-333. Findings necessary to order that minor is emancipated.
    The court may enter an order declaring the minor emancipated if, after a hearing, it is found that: (i) the minor has entered into a valid marriage, whether or not that marriage has been terminated by dissolution; or (ii) the minor is on active duty with any of the armed forces of the United States of America; or (iii) the minor willingly lives separate and apart from his parents or guardian, with the consent or acquiescence of the parents or guardian, and that the minor is or is capable of supporting himself and competently managing his own financial affairs.
    That appears to be the hard one for you.
