Even after reading all of the articles on Florida emancipation, none of them really comply to me.. I am 16 years old, I am a responsible young adult. I have my own job, and I try my hardest in everything that I do. I am also one month pregnant.
Me and my mother do not get along about 75% of the time. She is constantly picking on me, and I know that even though she does it because she cares, I am a very independent type person and I fail to listen to what she says. My stepfather however, is the abusive one in the family. He is constantly yelling at me and threatening me. He has on two occasions hit me. My father lives in Tampa, Florida and has always been the positive one in my life, however I just don`t see myself moving to Tampa, because I want to stay down here in South Florida to attend school at FIU.. I also go to a high school that is a college prepatory school and I would like to stay there as well.
If my father files a petition, would I be able to be emancipated? Do I even need my father to file a petition, since I am pregnant?
Thank you for the time, sincerely,
Tiffany
