Emancipation of a Minor in Arkansas

[xtragicxloveex]

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: arkansas.

im 15 years old. i know that to be emancipated that you must be 16 years of age to do so.
my frist question is if emancipation is possible in arkansas?

also my parents are seperated, i am currently living with my dad after living 13 years with my mom. i moved out of my moms house to live with my grandpa so i could get stability. but my dad didnt like that tso he drove to ct to come get me and forced me to live with him in arkansas at the age of 14.

due to my parents devorce would i have to get both of their permission to be emancipated?
do i have to have my parents input on getting emancipated?
can my parents fight it?

my brother is of age and said that i can move in with him. is there a way to move in with him and give him gardianship of me without having to be emancipated?

if i got emancipated then moved in with him would i still need to show that i have income?


if anyone can help, please do. i really want to go home.
thanks so much.

(a) The circuit courts and the chancery courts of this state or the respective judges thereof in vacation shall have the power to authorize any person who is a resident of the county and who has reached his sixteenth birthday to transact business in general and any particular business specified in like manner and with the same effect as if such act or thing were done by a person who had attained majority. Every act done by a person so authorized shall have the same force and effect in law and equity as if done by a person of full age.


(b) Letters testamentary, of administration, or of guardianship may be granted to any such person, if otherwise entitled by law to have or hold such fiduciary trust, with like effect as if granted to a person over the age of majority.


(c) The order of removal of disabilities may be made by the courts, or the respective judges thereof, in term time or in vacation.

This may be done to enable the minor to sell and convey the real estate, or any interest therein, which may be owned by the minor or to mortgage or otherwise dispose of the real estate, as fully and effectually as if the minor was of full age.
