What are my legal rights as a minor?

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do at this time of your life.  Until you are 18 years of age or able to support yourself without any outside help, there isn't much help.  You can contact your representative of the DCSS and tell them you don't want any visitations from your non-custodial parent.  You may even be able to file for a restraining order.  It also depends on what state you live in.  The best way to find out is to visit your states web site and look under children's rights.  Or just contact your local DCSS rep.  They're there for you, not your parents.

As a minor, you should have an advocate assigned to you. Petition the judge with a politely written letter.\n\nThe situation is not easy, and in many states Child services is a chronic scandal occasionally rising to the level of criminality.

Best advice is to talk to a family law attorney.  You'd have to prove that you'd be better off on your own than with your parents/guardian.  It's pretty tough to do, unless you can prove abuse or neglect and can prove that you have the means in which to support yourself, such as a trust fund that you would get when you turned 18, etc.  They're not too keen on emanicapting minors if it means you would have to get a full time job to survive.  You'd just wind up in foster care until 18.

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.

I need to know if there are legal papers for temporary custody of a minor, and if so where can I find them?

You don't actually gain any new rights.  However, you could get an attorney and try to become emancipated from your mother.  You would have to prove that you have extenuating circumstances, a means of financial support while still attending school and you would have to have someone willing to act as your guardian.

If you are still a minor, you will need permission from your parent or guardian, unless you can show just cause why you should change it. Like your parents gave you some idiotic name like some of the Hollywood types are currently bestowing on their children. \nCheck at your local court house to find out the exact procedure. Once you are of legal age, you can call yourself anything you choose, as long as it is not obscene or defamatory. \nGood luck to you!

believe it or not your parents know more than you do\n\nu dont pay your own way so u have to live by the rules that they put forth....... get a job..... show that u are responsible........ give your parents $20 a week........ act like an adult and u will be treated better........ but being grounded for not following their rules isnt having your rights taken away...... it is called growing up

The support he pays to her or the court is not payable to you as a minor. She decides how and when to use it. You have the legal right to file a suit as an individual but I think it would be hard to find an attorney to represent you because for one if you loose he can't come against you for payment since you are a minor. Your best bet is to think this out and perhaps in time things will get better. You should talk to social services legal office in your area for advice, this gives all notice of your thoughts and perhaps they may intervene for you.

Your 15 year old grandson is not an adult. Any decisions made by him would have to be approved by his legal guardian. If that is you, then congratulations, if it is not then you have no legal right to him.

i'm a teacher. you have no rights. \n\nseriously, consult your student handbook. you will see EXACTLY what kind of rights you have. that info depends entirely on where you are and what kind of school.

Only if you get your parent or guardian to co-sign for you. Contracts with minors are unenforceable, even if you've already graduated from high school.

u gotta go thru a process to protect everyone's rights, you, the other person, the insitution.  wheneven a person canno0t handle their own affairs it is time to take action.  if a person goes along, not much of a probelem just follow procedures.  if person does not, then you gotta get a court order

What would you need a list of all minors for? If you have something to do with one of them, there are legal channels you could take to find information about that one individual. But you would really need to prove it is in the best interest of the minor.

You're an adult at 18 in any state in the union.  You can sue for emancipation before that, but you'll need a lawyer.
