    Post Emancipation In Nevada

    I Am A 17 Year Old High School Graduate. I Want To Move Out Of My Parents Home But They Will Not Allow Me To. My Next Option Is To Get Emancipated But As I Was Reading The Law In Nevada U Must Live Apart From Your Parents. What Am I To Do If They Refuse To Let Me Move Out? If I Let Them Know Im Leaving Can They Still Consider Me A Run Away And How Will That Go Over With The Judge When I Go To Get Emancipated. Please Help Me I Cannot Take The Mental Abuse They Are Causing Me. They Make It Hard For Me To Focus On School.

    If your parents will not allow you to leave home, then you cannot be emancipated.

    Emancipation is very, very much more rare than most kids appear to believe, and it was NEVER designed to allow kids to leave home. The emancipation laws were designed to help kids who, through no fault of their own, ended up on their own.

    Running away will pretty much make emancipation impossible - the judge is not going to go for that.

    When you are 18, you can leave and never look back if you want.
