Emancipation in Florida

[OhioIsForLovers]

I'm 14, my birthday is July 28. I really want to get emancipated. And I need to be 16 to do this. Anyways, I lived in Ohio all my life and, I moved to the Florida Keys about 6months ago, right after I turned 14. I really hate it here. This isn't a place for a teen ager to grow up. Expeccially since im used to the city and there is like nothing here! I'm miserable here. I just visted my friends and family and I realized I'd do what ever it takes to move back! My aunt said that she would take care of me and let me live with her. I really want to. But my mother wants me to live with her until im 18. Ive lived here 6months i have no friends what so ever, school is way harder here. Up in Ohio where i used to live you only need 21 credits to graduate and here you need 26. And I have learning disabilites and this school here in the keys does'nt seem to help me. Theres so many reasons why I really don't want to live here. I wish I don't have to emotionally hurt my mom and get emancipated now or when im 16. But she won't let me live in Ohio, so I'm taking things into my own hands. I really need help. I don't think I can wait until im 16 to get emancipated. I need to now. Because, I'm failing some classes and I don't want to be in the 9th grade again. Like i said school is more difficult here than what I'm used to.

The reasons you stated are not enough to be emancipated without your mom's consent.

Since summer is coming up do you think she would let you go back for an extended visit?

Where is your dad?

I understand how you feel. My parents moved me across the country at your age and I HATED it, but now that I'm a parent, I understand it was not up to me to chose where I lived.

Under Florida's emancipation statute, the minor's parents (or guardian) must commence the emancipation process.
