    Default New Jersey Emancipation Laws

    Yeah i am from New Jersey and i want to move out of my house. I am fifteen and have been wanting to move out since i was probably ten. I love my dad who i live with now, but i hate my mother who i also live with. My parents aren't together, they just live with one another because me i guess and my mom wouldnt be able to afford a place without my dad. My mom can't keep a job, and she is cheap. She mainly only supports herself. My dad pays for almost everything of mine like lunch money, clothes, school supplies, my phone, electric, etc. I am sick of living with my worthless mom who I am pretty sure is my only legal guardian, atleast that is what she tells me. I can't live with her any longer, i plan to get a job that i work at every day after school and will be able to maintain my grades. I want to live in my own apartment with possibly a roomate or two. I can't live with her anymore, she is crazy and really needs some help but denies it. Please tell me everything i can do to get out of this place asap. Oh yeah, and a ride to school is by the school bus which picks up in front of your house.


    I will probably work at a restaurant as a waitress and in the summer i will get another job at the beach snack stands or as a life guard.

    "I will probably" will not work in front of the judge even if your state has a statute for process. also your 15 other than CA most states (that have statutes) require you be at least 16

    New Jersey has no general emancipation statute. It does have an emancipation statute for minors with HIV, but that's a very limited statute.

    There is some common law authority in support of emancipation, but it's more a description of when a court might deem a minor to be emancipated as opposed to how that might be achieved, although it makes plain that active duty military service results in emancipation. See Bishop v Bishop, 287 NJ Super. 593, 597, 604 (Chan. Div. 1995) (because the mother was no longer fulfilling her son's "material requirements, such as food, housing, and medical care" and "relinquished any remaining control and responsibility over her son" by virtue of the son's enrollment at West Point, the father was held to be relieved from his support obligations for the child.)
