    Default My Parents Abuse Me

    my parents have abused my brother and i ever since i can remember. when i was a kid my parents used to beat us until we bleed. after they did they we couldnt sit down and they would tell us that they did it because they loved us, which is a bunch of bull. my dad yells at us all the time and he always pushes my mom down. last summer i got into trouble which they whole thing was just a bunch of misunderstanding. my dad beat my with the thing that opens the blinds. i couldnt cry because it hurt so bad and my dad and mom told me they were going to keep on until i started crying. they only reason they stopped was because i was about to start bleeding. 2 days later i turned them into dhs. but the only thing the did was put us in family cousiling, and of course my parents blamed everything on me and they were acting all nice, which only made it wrose on me. is they any way that i can divorce my parents? i want to be emancipated but i dont have enough money for a lawyer. i dont want to move out on my own i want to live with my brother who is financially stable. i've already talked to my parents about signing the custody over but they would never agree. i really need help getting out of my house. if anyone can give me any information please help!!

    Default Emancipation

    Emancipation laws vary by state. Where emancipation is possible, it typically requires the minor to prove herself capable of independently supporting herself. There may be a support organization for kids in your position within your community (e.g., Ozone House in Ann Arbor, Michigan) which may be able to provide support and suggestions. You can also try the social worker previously or currently assigned to your case.

    Default Arkansas Emancipation Law

    Quote Quoting Arkansas Law
    9-26-104. Removal of disability of a minor.

    (a) The circuit 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 or her 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.

    (d)(1) The circuit courts of any county in which a nonresident minor of the State of Arkansas owns real estate, or any interest in real estate, shall have jurisdiction to remove the disabilities of minority of such minor where the person has reached sixteen (16) years of age, as to such real estate. 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.

    (2) The order of removal of disabilities may be made by the courts, or the respective judges thereof in term time or in vacation, and, if made in vacation, shall be entered at large upon the records of the court.

    (e) After the filing of a petition to remove the disability of a minor, the court shall fix a time and place for hearing the petition. At least twenty (20) days before the date of the hearing, notice of the filing of the petition and of the time and place of the hearing shall be given by the petitioner to any parent or legal guardian of the minor who has not joined in the petition. The notice shall be given in the same manner as is provided for summons under the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure.

    are my parents allowed to petition my case? are they able to say anything that might risk my chances of being removed from their house? i have records and pictures on file of when they last abused me... will this help as evidence against them?
