There IS no reason, no matter how horrible, that will convince a court to grant emancipation. Emancipation is NOT a process to get out of a bad situation, it's a process where you prove to a court that you and you alone can show that you are able to support yourself 100% - including rent, groceries, utilities, health insurance, transportation, clothing, etc. AND continue to do well in school. If you believe you are living in an abusive situation, then either a call to CPS/DYS is your next option. If they remove you from the home for reasons of abuse, you'll live where they tell you to live. Your only other way "out" is through a change of guardianship to another responsible adult in your county probate court - and if you have a roof over your head, food on your table, and your parents contest the change in guardianship, your odds aren't good.
