    Default Can You Get Emancipated from a Caregiver's Custody

    My question involves a person located in the state of: Florida .

    I’m 16 years old, my life situation is really a bundle of confusion but to say the least my real biological parents are out of my life always have been in jail or somewhere i dont Know of. My mom who adopted me when i was Born who was actually my great aunt died of cancer in March 2015 and i was Left with her ex husband who was my father figure my whole life they were always very close. In a custody battle due to him not being able to pass a drug test i fell Into his sisters custody whom which i never Knew and it was a very bad situation. From the start it got to the point of suicide and counseling or nothing was helping . Now i am In a the custody of a long time friend of my mom who died from cancer from church and things are just not going good here either .

    This whole journey of traveling and being in with different families has literally made me want to crumple in ball and die . I recieve A check from my social security or something and i havent Seen a penny of the money the sister still gts the check . I have Multiple health issues and due to the constant change my medical needs have still not been met . I need Surgery for a bone condition called osteocondhroma, i need TO go to the doctors . And i feel Like i could Do all of this on my own because these people are not taking care of me like they are supposed to .

    I’m still currently enrolled in high school, and i desire my education so much, but i cannot Take living and being under someone’s rule especially a lady when i was little about 9 years old I was diagnosed with a reaatachment disorder which makes it really hard for me to get along with any sort of authority from being separated from my mom . I just wish to be on my own and i can provide for myself i inherited a house that’s in my name from my mom that passed from cancer and my school is right down the street .

    Default Re: Do I Have Grounds to Be Emancipated

    In Florida, unless your parent or legal guardian will sign the emancipation petition, you're dead in the water before you start. It is by no means guaranteed if they will, but it's an automatic NO if they won't.

    What kind of income do you have along with that house? Are you going to be able to pay all your own expenses, including your health insurance and medical bills, all by yourself? If the answer is no, then so is the answer to emancipation.

    Well my mom who died her ex husband has been considered my parent and he said that he would be willing to petition this for me he’s considered my natural guardian so wouldn’t he have grounds to petition and sign for me. Along with the house i have a job cleaning houses, and a long time elementary school friend who has gotten her gde at 16 who works two jobs wishes to live with me to split bills . I also Plan on getting a job. My father figure has also always supported me with financial situations.

    If i was in control of my own government financial aid so I could do all the things that are critical to my physical and emotional health that aren’t currently being looked viewed as important. Their is so much more to this so many little things that add up as something i hate To call my life .
