    Default Emancipation in Australia

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: western australia.
    i was kicked out of home a few months ago and im on centrelink payments...
    my dad dosnt want to have anything to do with me neither does my mother. i wanted to change my name but as i am 16 i need my parents consent but my mum said no and said aslong as she is my legal guardian i will not be changing my name.

    With centrelink i pay my doctors fee's i pay for anything i need and my school fee's just came in also im paying rent. from what i read online to be emancipated you have to be living away from home and have an income. i already pay my bills and im pretty much taking care of myself so why do i need my parents stopping me from changing my name when im paying for it and i do everything for myself?? i need to know if i would be eligable for emancipation, one of my friends went for emancipation but was turned down because she diddnt have anywhere to live but do im currently at my grandmothers and i did consider devorcing the family but then i need a legal guardian n my nan said she dosnt want to be... i just wanna know if i can get them out of my life like they got rid of me can anyone help?? thankyou
