"The court may determine that emancipation has occurred and no other support obligation exists when the child:  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (a) Attains the age of twenty-one (21) years, or  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (b) Marries, or  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (c) Discontinues full-time enrollment in school and obtains full-time employment prior to attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years, or  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (d) Voluntarily moves from the home of the custodial parent or guardian and establishes independent living arrangements and obtains full-time employment prior to attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years.  \n  \n \n \n   \n \n (9)  Upon motion of a party requesting temporary child support pending a determination of parentage, temporary support shall be ordered if there is clear and convincing evidence of paternity on the basis of genetic tests or other evidence, unless the court makes written findings of fact on the record that the award of temporary support would be unjust or inappropriate in a particular case.  \n\n  \n \n \n \n \n   \n \n Sources: Codes, 1942, § 1263.5; Laws,  1960, ch. 268; Laws, 1984, ch. 367; Laws, 1985, ch. 518, § 16; Laws, 1993, ch. 506, § 15; Laws, 1994, ch. 591, § 7; Laws,  1996, ch. 345, § 2; Laws, 1999, ch. 512, § 15; Laws, 2000, ch. 530, § 6, eff from and after July 1, 2000."\n\n \nGet an attorney and have him help you do the above.  But, for goodness sake, think about what you are doing before you try to take on the world as a teenager.  It's much harder than you could possibly imagine.

If you can't spell EMANCIPATE, you're probably not bright enough to live on your own.\n\nClean your room, go to school, do your homework, and stop acting like a baby!

Hire a lawyer.\n\nIf your only issue is having your record expunged, you might contact the court that has jurisdiction and talk to the court clerk or district attorney's clerk.\n\nThey cannot give you legal advice, but they may help point you in the right direction.\n\nA petition is little more than a letter to the court making a request. But it must meet the requirements set by statute & the court regarding content.\n\nYou really should talk to a lawyer before you proceed since rules vary not only by state, but by court.

The process depends on the state you live in, and in some states there is no formalized process. You could, if you could afford to do it, move out already with your mother's permission. Otherwise, the only sure-fire ways toget emancipated are to get married, have a child, or join the armed forces. Otherwise, it really depends on the state.

If you're trying to get emancipated just for the sake of being with your "love" then good luck.  A judge won't emancipate you for that.  A judge WILL emancipate you if you have money that a guardian controls and is abusing it.  Or if there's some sort of abuse going on within the home.\n\nYou're 16 now, and in love.  Who's to say that it's going to last though?  Two months from now you might decide you love someone else.  These are the best years of your life....live them slow.  Trust me!

First find out what age you can do this in your state, google emancipate in ny.  You will need a lawyer to help..call the childrens service of NY and ask to speak to a social worker, tell her your situation and ask her to recommend a lawyer..they know the one that will do this pro-bono (free).\n\nI did this at age 15, and it worked, I have been on my own ever since, I am now 40.\n\nGood luck

No. To get emancipated you need to show you can support yourself and being able to pay the fees is part of that.

A minor (person under 18) may become emancipated if you enter into a valid marriage or you are on active duty in the armed forces. It can also happen if your parents abandon you or give up their parental rights. In addition, you may file for emancipation under the Emancipation of Minors Act. The result of this kind of emancipation is that you will assume most of the powers, rights and responsibilities that an adult has, and your parents will no longer be responsible for supporting you financially.

Yes, you can get "emancipated" from your parents and this is a situation in which the judge may grant in your favor.  Check these sites out and try and get more proof of your mom behavior for the courts.  \n\nI dont know what state you live in but in california you only have to be 14 to get emancipated from your parents.

Are you bound to the state you are in because of being the custodial parent and your divorce decree states you must get permission from the court? I would suggest you speak to your divorce lawyer for correct advice. \n Or If you are on probation or paroll or something like that, in which you would need very specific permission from the correct authorities .\n Otherwise, I don't think there are any prison states... at least not yet, so we are still 'free' to move anywhere in this country, reguardless of our maritial status...

I lived in Mississippi all my life.  Just recently moved to Baltimore MD (3 years ago).  In Mississippi what school are you going to attend?  MS State? (Starkville)  University of Southern MS? (Hattisburg) or Ole Miss (Oxford)?\n\nI worked for non-profit organizations, helping them raise money with various fund-raisers and did a lot of traveling in MS.  If you are going to MS State or Ole Miss, you'll find that there will not be much for intertainment, a few hot spots for dancing and drinking, but the best place to live (economically and emotionally) is North East of Jackson, (Madison-Ridgeland area).  Visit the Ross Barnett Resevoir. There is a good Water Park there, tons of resturants and night clubs and some prime realestate there.  Unfortunately the graduate schools are not too close to there.\nSmith county in Southern MS has the best fruit.  If you like good Southern Sweet Tea, McCallisters Delli is the place for that.  It's a Southern delli and they have a double stuffed baked potatoe that is the BOMB!  They take a large potatoe, bake it, then split it open, scoop out all the potatoe inside, mix it up with cheeze, butter and spices, then put it back in the shell and top it with differnt things like roast beef and gravy, ham and turkey, chilli, peppers, chives, bacon or whatever style you want.\nIt's like two large baked potatoes (that's how huge it is).  \n\nAnyway,  my email is almondjoy_1000@yahoo.com if you want more information on areas.  Good luck with the move!

Not sure what you mean about being involved in the court system. But once you are 18 you don't have to live with your parents that much I do know. In alot of places you can be emancipated before the age of 18, talk to your social worker. IF you can prove that you are responsible that should be an easy option... Good Luck
