I Need Help With Emancipation

[oli123]

okay, so my name is oliver i am 16 years old and i live in new jersey with my mother and father and 2 other brothers and i wish to divorce my parents.

Since i can remmber my dad has been abusive to me and my brothers i have had marks and scars (from him hitting me) i have cryed more then i can remmeber, my father has more then once threanted to kill me, attempted to kill my brother,as well as saying he would not soppurt me and never to count on him for nothing (no food, clothing,or money ect.) ,and that he does not want me to consider him my father, he has also locked me out of my house and said for me to fend for my self so i slept over a friend house, and because of this a barely sleep at night, i am failing school because i cant get rest, he has not only hit me but my mother and 2 brothers as well in several occations

Next is my mother- she is some wat better then my father but in her own way horriable i have told her my whole life that he has been abusive to me she has even whitnessed him doing it to me and she never does anything she may stop him but then just let him slide i told her how i couldent sleep at night because of this.. and she blows it off and says i am being dramatic..
i explained to her the situation of being locked out of my house and blamed it on my .. no matter wat your own father should never treat you like this was justifies those actions. she has completely ignored my calls for help for so long so i am trying to take matter's in to my own hands

And now my 2 brother's- one is between the ages of 22-24 who lives here in this very same house who always soppurts my mom in her actions no matter wat she does he even hits me to i cry for him to stop and my mom sometimes say i am going to get your brother to break your face and well that aint to far from wat he really does ( and he no were near aligable for taking me in not only is he going to the airforce but he is in way over his head on debt)

my next brother is 18 going on 19 he is the only person i can count on in this house to defend me he really cam sometimes understand me but he is living in this houe as well and isnt suitable to take me in he is in debt him self and needs money for college so i am screwed

The good news is i have found some own who is willing to take me in
and would be suitable to take care of me which they have already done in one occasion when i got kicked out o my house they are the ones who let me sleep at their house and gave me food and this women is my friends mother
she lives in a pretty stable home with rarely any problems a nice basic house
i just need to know any information on this, am i qualified to persue emancipation are my living conditions bad enough? how long is this proccess? ( i really need this to happen fast as possiable) can any one give me answers i really need this my life is being ruined i dont want to fail life please give me all the information as possiable and does anyone know if any the cost for some thing like this and if not emancipation any other solution and how much that would cost ect.

please i am counting on you guys

Emancipation is not granted because living conditions are bad. Emancipation is granted, (when it is granted, which is quite rare) because the minor teen is already living on his own and needs to be granted the legal protections of being able to sign contracts, etc.

Emancipation is not and never was designed to take you out of the home. In any case, what you have described is not emancipation and it would not be granted on that basis. Someone taking you in is not emancipation - it is a change of custody/guardianship.

That is not to say that you are stuck where you are, only that emancipation is not the answer. Please pay attention to panther's post.
