Emancipating In Oregon

[randomly_guessing]

I not sure what the laws are for emancipation. Ive looked into it myself, so I understand what Id have to do. But I just recently moved to Oregon. I used to live in Oklahoma, with my grandparents. Before that I lived with my mom. Now I live with my father in Oregon.
Things were fine living with my mom. She lives in Oklahoma. She got married, and her new husband doesn't quite get along with me. He kicked me out, and frequently calls me a whore and a slut in front of my mother. My mom trys to stop it , but he can be abusive.
So I moved in with my grandparents, who lived in the same city in Oklahoma. But my grandmother made it very clear that i was not welcome there. And for personal reasons I really prefer not to stay there anyways. The only reason I wanted to stay was because my life was there. All of my friends. And I know this doesn't make me look any better, just another lovesick kid, but my boyfriend also lives there.
I already had this figured out and I was going to get emancipated there. But my dad called and told me not to do anything stupid. To just wait. I could move in with him. And try it in Oregon for just the first nine weeks of school. And if I didn't like it I could move back. My dad was also an alcoholic. One of the reasons my parents got divorced. And when hes not drinking, hes great. I love him hes my dad. But when hes been drinking, hes abusive and moody. But he assured me that he had stopped drinking. So just recently, over Christmas break, on the 22nd, I flew to Oregon and moved in with him. Once I got there I realized that not only was he still drinking but his new girlfriend was also an alcoholic.
Ive tryed talking to him about just letting me move back to Oklahoma now. But hes always drinking so theres never really a good time to bring it up. And when I do he gets upset.
So I'm planning on getting emancipated and leaving. I just got a job. I am 16. After I get emancipated I'm planning on moving back to Oklahoma. Over Spring Break, right after the first nine weeks of school is over, my boyfriend and 2 other really close friends were going to drive up and get me. When I get to Oklahoma, I'm moving in with my boyfriend. He lives with his family. And they all would love to have me.
I realize that Ive basically summed up my life story, but I felt I had to explain my situation. I want to get emancipated. But I live in oregon, even though I just moved from Oklahoma. Almost directly after I get emancipated I plan on moving to Oregon. Is that legal? Does it change my situation? I'm not sure now which laws apply, and which is the easiest way to get emancipated.

Do you mean moving to Oklahoma?

If you are successful at becoming emancipated, you can move anywhere just like an adult can.

Emancipation is rare and there really isn't an easy way to achieve it.

This part of the Oregon statutes will seem to be a big hurdle for you:

419B.558. Conditions for issuance of decree; copy to applicant; issuance of license or identification card by Department of Transportation; emancipated person subject to adult criminal jurisdiction.


(1) The juvenile court in its discretion may enter a decree of emancipation where the minor is at least 16 years of age and the court finds that the best interests of the minor will be served by emancipation. In making its determination, the court shall take into consideration the following factors:


(a) Whether the parent of the minor consents to the proposed emancipation;


(b) Whether the minor has been living away from the family home and is substantially able to be self-maintained and self-supported without parental guidance and supervision; and


(c) Whether the minor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the court that the minor is sufficiently mature and knowledgeable to manage the minor's affairs without parental assistance.


(2) Upon entry of a decree of emancipation by the court, the applicant shall be given a copy of the decree. The decree shall instruct that the applicant obtain an Oregon driver's license or an Oregon identification card through the Department of Transportation and that the Department of Transportation make a notation of the minor's emancipated status on the license or identification card.


(3) An emancipated minor shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the adult courts for all criminal offenses.
