get a lawyer, sadly its the answer to most questions. there are experts in family law and they will know the answers. pick up a phone book and find a divorce lawyer would be a good place to start they would know where to start or who to talk to if you cant find anyone else

They can contact the general jurisdiction court of your county.  File the proper paperwork that is provided by the court and a hearing before a judge.  If the judge feels it is the best interest of the minor, they will be emancipated.

You can move to anywhere you'd like and you can still keep you benefits. They are awarded to you and should not be taken away. If they are you may appeal and get them back.. Check with any VA office for any more info.. They will tell you the same thing..\n\nSorry to hear about your husband and good luck in the future. Go to your family.

if you become emancipated, you receive no financial aids from the government or parents.  One of the steps to becomming emancipated is proving to the judge that you can legally support yourself financially.

You may be able to get support from your county.\n\nIn Fairfax County, Virginia for example, they have a "Child Care Assistance and Referral (CCAR) program that provides financial assistance for child care to low and moderate income Fairfax County families who are working, or who are in education/training programs and need assistance with paying for the cost of child care. The program pays for child care in centers, family child care homes, or School-Age Child Care (SACC)."   http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ofc/CCAR.htm\n\nCheck with your county if they have a similar assistance program

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.

Your best bet is to talk it over with your parents and your sister to see if you can come to an agreement.  Legally, you can get a lawyer and pursue the status of an emancipated minor, but that takes money and time.  Odds are at 17 you haven't got the money, and by the time it was over you'd be 18 and free anyway.  \n\nNow, if there is actual abuse going on, get in touch with a local child abuse advocacy group or file a complaint with local law enforcement.

NY has no emancipation law actually. But I've included the "requirements" for the court to acknowledge you as emancipated and they are:\n\nIt is my understanding that New York does not have a law which provides for emancipation. (That is, unlike in most states, there is no mechanism by which a minor can go to court and formally petition to be declared an emancipated minor.) However, it is also my understanding that New York courts will recognize the status of an emancipated minor, assuming that the minor meets the essential elements of being emancipated.\n\nThose required elements are:\n\n* The minor must be aged 16 or older;\n* The minor must reside independently of his or her parents;\n* The minor must be self supporting (although public assistance or court-ordered child support payments made to the minor would not disqualify the minor from being recognized as emancipated);\n* The minor must not be in need of or receipt of foster care; and\n* The minor must be living beyond the custody and control of his or her parents.\n\nAlthough the courts don't really do emancipation, you can file for emancipation with the court. You should get or contact a lawyer to help you with this however.\n\nThis is a bit out of realm as a Trooper, so I've attached the link I used for your refrence.

The Housing Authority in Virginia Beach will have the most comprehensive list of landlord's who offer low income apartments, duplexes and single family homes.  If you are not already approved for a Section 8 voucher, you should apply for one through the same agency. There may be a waiting list, but I'd at least apply and get myself on the list. The agency is called the Virginia Beach Housing Authority. You may find other resources as well through local homeless shelters, Salvation Army, local food banks, churches, and civic groups.  These entities can help with, food, utilities, transportation, child care, medical and mental health services, should you need any of these other types of assistance.  Good luck, and I hope your situation improves quickly.

would your VA office not be able to assist you with this ????\n\nFailing that try contacting your local branch of the Legion and asking them for advice as they have departments that you can call / write to that will advocate on your behalf........of course you have to take out membership but that would be a LOT cheaper than an attorney prehaps.

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.

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
