Here is my situation: I want to be emancipated, but i am 17 years old today, I live in Missouri. i was taken by the state and put into foster care at an early age. then i was adopted at the age of 7 but my adopted parents gave me up a year ago. and i am living with my guardians (who my parents just handed me too even though i barley knew them for even a month). My parents had a paper notarized saying they gave custody to my guardians . I am graduating a year early, and planning to go to college. The problem is that my parents claimed me on their taxes because i am still legally their's(which confuses me alot); so i cannot apply for grants because they make too much money. I also get subsidy for being adopted which is like my rent to my guardians, and my health insurance. i have a place lined up to live when i am in college and i am currently looking for jobs.
i don't do drugs or drink at all. I have no children. and i haven't been in any legal trouble. I am mainly focusing on school and i have no job at the moment. i have a place lined up to live when i am in college and i am currently looking for jobs. what can I do?![]()
