My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: IL
Over the past year, I have considered becoming emancipated from my parents' care, due to the psychological, verbal and burgeoning altercations nearly becoming physical, specifically with my father.
In my research into becoming emancipated, I have found the criteria to primarily be in my favour if I were to attempt it, save for the topic of parental consent. Specifically, in Illinois, it appears to be that if a minor files for emancipation, and a parent does not consent, the case is automatically void and the minor denied emancipation.
I do believe that I could get consent from my mother if I fully explain why I wish to become emancipated, and explain the plan I have set up going forward from there.
The issue lies with my father. I am fairly sure that he would never consent to my emancipation, as he relies on controlling my mother and I.
I am finding it difficult to find more information regarding parental consent in the situation.
My question being, if I were to file it with the consent of my mother, provide ample justification and evidence for emancipatipn etc., would the filing be void if my father is the only one to object?
Are both parents' consent necessary, or if one objects (especially if that one is the primary reason for emancipation), will the filing be void?
