Emancipation in Pennsylvania?
916518
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."

Since emancipation’s been mentioned…the purpose of emancipation is not to allow a minor the ability to go live with a friend.  Emancipation requirements vary by state, but at a minimum you would have to prove that you are capable of fully supporting yourself—paying for rent, utilities, food, medical expenses, etc—with NO assistance from anyone.  So living with a friend and depending on them for even partial support/help/assistance isn't going to cut it.  AND you would have to provide the court with a valid reason that emancipation would be in your best interest.  You didn’t state your reason, but IF it involves things along the lines of just not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom that’s not a valid reason.  Even if you meet all the requirements the court can still deny emancipation for any reason that they see fit, including, but not limited to, their belief that you lack the maturity to function as an adult.  Emancipation is not a quick or easy process and more often than not it is denied.\n\nOf course, your parents can give you permission to live with a friend, provided it’s a safe and appropriate environment.  That friend, however, is not going to be able to do things such as enroll you in school, consent to your medical care, etc unless they have some type of temporary custody.

"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.

Pennsylvania allows PFA petitions for same-sex couples.  Your mother's ex-partner can ask for your mother to be evicted from property they jointly own.  This will be decided by a judge.\n\nThe only way to fight this is in court.  Your mother must obtain proof that denies the charges, including witnesses and any documentation to show that none of it happened.  Of course her ex will try to prove the opposite.\n\nYour mother should get a lawyer.  If she cannot afford one then she should be prepared with whatever proof she can get together to present to the judge.  The best she can hope for is an amicable settlement of some kind, and she should prepare for the likelihood that she might have to sell the house if she can't cover the mortgage on her own.

I live in Pa also and tried to do the same thing.I was not permitted to have my child's fathers rights terminated,and he hadn't seen my son for years and sent very sporadic child support.The reason I was given,according to my lawyer,was that in Pa,a child cannot be made a "bastard",terrible name,but that is what they legally call a child without a father.If I had been remarried and my new husband wanted to adopt my son,that would be a possibility,but they cannot make a child fatherless.Their reasoning I'm sure is that the child might then become the states responsibility if the mother alone couldn't support the child.This is the experience that I had dealing with the same issues.Good luck to you.

To be emancipated it takes an order of the courts.  Talk to a lawyer, if you can't pay talk to a legal aide lawyer.

The State of Ohio does not have an emancipation law. A minor or parent is unable to file a legal action to have a minor emancipated or legally on their own and under the age of 18. There are two temporary ways in which a minor can be out of the custody of their parent. Either join any branch of the Armed Forces or marriage. However, if the marriage is dissolved or minor is discharged from the service and still under the age of 18 the custody automatically reverts back to the parent who originally had custody.\n\nIt sounds like your only hope is marriage.  However, 16 appears to be the earliest you can get married and then you will need parental consent.  Otherwise, you will have to wait until you are 18.  It does appear, though, that, as you are pregnant, you may be able to petition your county juvenile court to grant you consent even though you are underage.\n\n   \n \n Ohio § 3101.04. Consent of juvenile court.\n \n When the juvenile court files a consent to marriage pursuant to the juvenile rules, the probate court may thereupon issue a license, notwithstanding either or both the contracting parties for the marital relation are under the minimum age prescribed in section 3101.01 of the Revised Code. The license shall not issue until section 3101.05 of the Revised Code has been complied with, and until such child has been born, or it is found beyond doubt by the juvenile court that the minor female is pregnant and intends to have the child.

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.

Sounds to me like this is a case of divorced parents? Assuming it is and the mother has legal custody and depending of course on what state they live in, its unlikely the father could interfere with the legal process. Personally, I would not get involved in family matters where custody would be a factor. As for the rent, if the boy is requesting emancipation then he's asking the courts to recognize him as an adult and empower him with legal custody of himself. If he wants to be an adult then he needs to have adult obligations so I say the rent is fair.

The act of freeing someone from restraint or bondage.\nIt occurs when the child's parents no longer perform their parental duties and surrender their rights to the care, custody and earnings of their minor child. Emancipation may be the result of a voluntary agreement between the parents and child, or it may be implied from their acts and ongoing conduct. For example, a child who leaves her parents' home and becomes entirely self-supporting without their objection is considered emancipated, while a child who goes to stay with a friend or relative and gets a part-time job is not. Emancipation may also occur when a minor child marries or enters the military.
