alright i live in arkansas and i am 15. on the websites i saw that u have to be 16 to get emancipated and then on another one it said you have to be 17. I think you have to be 16 though because my grandmother called and talked to someone about it. But if i got a hardship and a job and was able to take care of myself at 15 is ther any way i could get emancipated even though im not 16 ??? thanks everyone if u need more info just asks thanks again
