I am 17, and I live in Wisconsin. I want to be emancipated. What do I need to do inorder to become emancipated, besides getting married, or going into the armed forceses? Is there any other way I can become emancipated. Would it help if my mother was into drugs, devorced and can barely afford food? My mother and father are devorced, but my father had four kids living with him, at the time, so I cannot live there. I have a place to go, if I were emancipated, that would provide plenty of food, shelter, good clothes and I would be able to get a job to support myself. I am also very welcome there. Living with my mom I am unable to get a job, and I do not see my self graduating high school. She is unable to keep a job for more than four months at a time. She also did not graduate and was a troublesome child her self. If I can get emanicpated I would be able to get a job, and I would continue school, but in the situation I am in, with my mother, I would not be able to graduate because of the school fines and dues that is owed to the schools. If I were to become emancipated I would get a job, and pay the fines and dues myself so I could and would graduate and get my degree or what ever you get for graduating high school. Please tell me that I can be emancipated.
