    Default Can My Boyfriend Get Emancipated, in Kansas

    My boyfriend is looking to get emancipated. He currently lives with his parents. But his mom won't get him health/dental care. He has teeth that are literally rotting because his mom will not make an appointment, he needs surgery on his knees, she won't do anything about that either. Also, we are having a baby and he wants to be there for her. He has a job, and makes his own money. We aren't sure if he will have the right reasons to get emancipated. If he does, he is planning on moving in with myself, our daughter, and my parents. Also, about how much would a lawyer cost? Right now he only has about $1,000 saved up. We live in Kansas.

    Default Re: Can my boyfriend get emancipated in Kansas?

    According to the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri,

    Quote:
    Quoting Missouri Emancipation Law
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In Missouri, a minor may be emancipated in one of three ways:
    1) your parents may give express consent to a court that they are waiving their parental rights;

    2) your parents may give implied consent, which would apply in situations where you have been living on your own, supporting yourself, and for all practical purposes your parents have relinquished their parental rights; and

    3) you experience a significant change in your societal status-such as an enlistment in the military or marriage.
    As in Kansas, emancipation requires the ruling of a judge.


    However no judge will likely grant such a petition so the minor can live with his/her BF/GF. The minor needs a job with sufficent income for "self" (keyword) support
