    Default Emancipation of a Minor in Louisiana

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of Louisiana: Living with my parents had given me major mental health issues. They emotionally abuse me in a way, and they think they’re helping me (it’s complicated) but it’s making things worse. Because of them I’ve developed anxiety, my depression has worsened, and I’ve started wandering if things would be easier if I was dead. I tried to talk to them about this, but they won’t listen to me. They believe this is going to help me. I have a friend that’s willing to support me if I decide to go through with my plan, but I’m a minor. I need to know what the emancipation laws are, how old I need to be to get emancipated, and how to do it without parental consent.

    Well, first you have to be at least 16 and be completely able to support yourself without any assistance from another person or government assistance. You can't just move in with a friend that's willing to foot the bill.

    If you don't have parental consent you don't do it. Period.

    Please talk to your school counselor or another trusted adult about your depression and anxiety and that you have contemplated suicide. You are not going to be emancipated but you can perhaps get some help.
