My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: North carolina
Okay I'm 14 years old and what was once an okay life has gone bad.
The story: My step father commited adultry, and decided he wanted to leave my mother. Thats where the trouble started. I knew it was best my step father leave, but my mother wanted to save her marriage. I understood and didnt get involved. The truth was they couldnt save it and the 4 months prior to my step father finally moving out were hard. They were filled with violence and rage hurtful words turned to phyisical violence. My younger brother and I witnessed my step father beat my mother many times, and in a way we watched my mother lose her mind. I used drugs to escape it all and eventually so did my mother. When my step dad moved out I thought things would get better, but my mother was too far gone she talked about revenge always, began sleeping with younger men (17, 18 year olds and shes 33)
and the drugs she smoked pot and abused her perscription meds. In the end even though I was on drugs myself I assumed responsibllity for the well being of the house and what not. social services caught on and removed me and my brother. We were placed in foster homes. I have close friends that are much more better parents then my mother and though my mother is trying to get us back shes not doing to great at all, the drugs are still there for her as well as the young men. I dont want to be in foster care all my life. Im sad and depressed. I was told by a social worker that I could start working on emancipation now and be finshed at 16 and ready to leave then and there.
If I could prove that I had a safe envoirment to live in and/or I could provide for myself. Is this true? and what are the deatails on it? How soon can I start and how so I get started?
