Emancipation laws vary by state, so you're best recourse would be to either consult with a local attorney or research the statutes on the I'net.\n\nGenerally speaking, a "child" who is living independent of an adult, or who is married, is considered to be emancipated for some purposes but not others.\n\nDepends on your particular situation and in which state you reside.

I have a similar answer to the previous poster, but telling them you are emancipated isn't going to help you.  "Emancipation" is a legal term, and doesn't apply to you anyway since you're 19.  You MAY be able to file as an independent student if you filed your own taxes, earned a certain minimum income last year, and were NOT claimed on your parents' tax returns.  If you were, then you're out of luck unless you're married or have a child of your own.  Your state may have scholarships or loans for which you can apply, especially in such small dollar amounts.  In what state you do you live and go to school?

You can petition the court for emancipation at the age of 16 in NC.  This means that you can live on your own or determine your own guardian.  But it does require that you work through family court.  Your best bet is to see if there is an answer/question line - website for your county social services.\n\nYou can try the website listed below for a start.

That means that the child is basically "divorcing" their parents.  They will be deemed as adults through the law.  Example: A 16 year old who becomes emancipated is legally considered a adult.  That child is able to make there own decisions and will no longer re lie on the parents for financial support, "Emancipation ends the parents' rights to control his or her minor child or to participate in any decision-making about the child. If a child is emancipated, the parents no longer have the right to determine where the child lives or goes to school, or how the child's money is spent. The parent also has no right to the Minor's wages or earnings." (http://www.clcm.org/minors_rights.htm).\nGood Luck

Yes, I moved out when I was 17.  If you can prove that you are both capable of supporting yourselves without welfare, there is nothing the law will do about it as long as you are not causing trouble because you are so close to legal age.  I had my well paying job for 2 years, had a house, a car that I had paid for,  and other factors that showed stability, so just be able to back up your case.\n\nEmancipation is expensive, and they take all of these factors into consideration. If you are "caught" and you are eligible for emancipation, they will go ahead and approve it without all of the court costs.

Ohio does not allow the emancipation of minors. To be emancipated, you would have to join one of the armed forces or marry. To avoid school, you could take the GED.

Guardian information is only necessary if you are a minor or have just turned 18.  If you have been out of your parents custody at anytime I would contact your old social worker or DSS office.  They will give you the information required to prove you are a ward of the state or an emancipated minor and haven't been in your parents care since xyz date.  Also being a ward of the state, even if just temporarily until someone else took custody, makes you eligible for scholarships.

You should contact a PA attorney or a legal services organization.  Look at the sites I listed in the source area.\n\n"Most people think someone less than 18 can just go to court and get emancipated. But in Pennsylvania, emancipation is not a right, and there are no clear procedures to get a declaration of emancipation from a court. However, rarely is such a declaration necessary for a minor to achieve his or her goal. \n\nCertain actions automatically result in a minor becoming emancipated--these include marriage or entry into the military. However, a minor usually wants to be declared emancipated to get a specific benefit or service. Government agencies usually have the authority to decide if a minor is emancipated, to authorize the benefit or service they administer. Therefore, it is usually not necessary for a minor to go to court to be declared emancipated."

As long as you are dependent on them for financial resources, basically.  Also: in the United States, until you turn 18, you are legally subject to their control in most things unless you are "judicially emancipated" (which is not easy or common).

The day you turn 18, you can move out. Before that age, you would be considered a runaway. After that age, you are an adult and can make decisions for your own life. Your parents can no longer tell you what to do, but they also don't have to help you out with anything.\n\nWhen you hit 18, your parents responsibility for you ends. You can pack your bags and hit the road, never looking back, if that's what you want. On the reverse side, when you turn 18, your parents can pack your bags, put you out the door, change the locks, and never look back.\n\nWhat I would suggest is trying to talk to your parents and explain the need to establish yourself as an independent person. Be reasonable, be calm, and be respectful. In the end, it is your decision, but you don't want to do irreparable damage to your relationship with your parents.

You can apply to be released of your parents:\n\n\n\nTexas Emancipation Law wrote: \nSec. 31.001. REQUIREMENTS. \n(a) A minor may petition to have the disabilities of minority removed for limited or general purposes if the minor is: \n(1) a resident of this state; \n\n(2) 17 years of age, or at least 16 years of age and living separate and apart from the minor's parents, managing conservator, or guardian; and \n\n(3) self-supporting and managing the minor's own financial affairs.\n(b) A minor may file suit under this chapter in the minor's own name. The minor need not be represented by next friend

you have to show the state that you are able to support yourself, by showing how much money you can make, and how you are going to school. and show them where you will stay. and so on and so forth. before you can be emancipated. goodluck.

Hang on for a couple of years.\nYou may end up wishing that you weren't emancipated.

depends on the situation. I know kids who have emancipated themselves from their parents at the age of 17. As long as you have someone to stay with cps ought to be able to get off of your back. FYI: I'm a Texan too, proud and true!

ya have to be 16 then you can get emancipated and you have to have $10,000 or a way to support yourself. That's the way it is in MT at least

Well the eviction notice was intended for his mother(person on the lease). Since her 16 year old son is living there, though she is evicted. doesn't mean that being kicked out of their place doesn't apply to him.  It doesn't matter how old you are you can get kicked out of anywhere. If you're a friend help him to find somewhere to live wether it be with other family or a helpful friend. Since he's under age I wouldn't be surprised if the police step in and send cps to pick him up and put him in foster care.
