Hello, I will try to make this short and sweet...
My 17 year old sister is wanting to get emancipated from my mother.
Reasons being that years ago my stepfather molested me, my mother then kicked me out of the house (18 at the time), and stayed with him. He then began to do the same thing with my sister.
I got fed up, called CPS, made them divorce. Charges were never filed on stepfather because I did not want my sister to have to relive the situation in court, a restraining order is in place instead. Since then my mother treats my sister horribly. She has no contact with any other family except myself because I bought her a cell phone to keep in touch.
My mother will not buy her anything. She is getting my bio father whom she hasnt spoke to in 10+ yrs to buy her a car/insurance, then goes out and spends $2000 on an huge tv for her room, goes on a vacation for herself, and many other shopping sprees.
Things have gotten worse btw my mother and sister, and mother always threatens sis saying she can go live with her bio father (whom shes met once), so my sis took her up on the offer and is now staying over 20 miles away from her school with him.
Strange thing is my mother is bi-polar and will soon try to get my sister back into her house. She does not want to go. My question is: Is this grounds for emancipation in Louisiana? Also, what is the process if we have more than a few relatives willing to petition against my mother?
Please let me know if you need more info about the situation, any help is greatly appreciated.
