Am I able to be emancipated?

[hey_thatzh0tt]

I am 16 years old and I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I was wondering if under these conditions I would be able to get emancipated:

-I am living away from my parents and with my boyfriend's family under both adults permission.

-My mother will help me get emancipated because she is going to prison (most likely) in March for drug related charges.

-My boyfriend's mtoher is willing to vouch for my character and help me financially if needed.

-I don't have a job, but I can get one with little to no trouble if needed, although it may not be enough to support myself in the way of getting my own apartment, but I could contribute to paying bills or even 'rent' where I am staying.

-I don't have the money for a lawyer.

- I make OK grades but they have gone up spectacularly since moving from my mothers.

-My father will probably not want me to be emancpated, however, I don't want to live with him because he lives in a one bedroom apartment with two other people, has an unstable marriage and job, has a CPS strain against him sayin I am unable to live with him (although the time has lapsed/expired), went to court for attempted murder (but was not convicted), and I am of legal age and choose not to live with him.

Considering all these factors, is it even worth it to try and file for emancipation?

It could be worth a shot. How long has it been since you've seen your dad? How involved is he in your life? Would mom be willing to sign over guardianship to your BF's parents instead of emancipation?
