I'll be 17 in 24 days. Me and my mom have fought constantly for as long as I can remember. I have 2 sisters, both live in California. And one brother who is a year younger than me. My brother gets to run and do whatever he wants anytime he wants. Half the time no one knows where he is, he's doing drugs, and drinking all the time. And my mom is too dumb to see it.

The most my mom lets me out of the house is a few hours 3 or 4 nights a week. I haven't spent the night out of the house since I was 13. Things aren't fair around here, and I try explaining that to my mom. I'm going into my senior year, and I have zero freedoms. I've been in a relationship for almost a year now, and he's got his own house, and a steady job. And my mom even likes him, but she wont let me hang out alone with him.

I can't take the fighting, and want to move out. My boyfriend tells me that I am more than welcome to move in with him, and as soon as I turn 18 he's planning on moving me in. But I don't want to wait that long, I don't know if I can make this relationship work while trying to keep my sanity living with my mother. I fight with her constantly, and then I'm miserable and I end up fighting with him. And I don't know how much longer we can keep doing this.

Does anyone think that these are reasonable grounds to move out, or get emancipated?

Hi, My name is Alexis... I have a lot of questions concerning emancipation. My mother is not a suitable person to live with. I am 16, i have a full time job, even during the school year because this past year i was in independent study. i make a steady income, 9 dollars an hour. I have been offered a couple places to stay for free because friends just feel bad for me because my mother is just unexplainable. We moved to Arizona on May 2nd. I deeply, deeply loathe Arizona. I came back out to where I live currently (California) to finish my sophomore year and work as much as possible. I am staying with a friend now and i have been very responsible, i have good grades and work hard on the job. I really cannot stand living with a crazy person anymore. I work 25 to 30 hours a week and sometimes i get to keep a little of my money. I am fully capable of taking care of myself. i have goals and a college i am set on going to. Otis Art Academy. I just need to know how to go about all this emancipation stuff. someone help me pleaseee!

My boyfriend is 16 and he lives in an unhealthy environment. he was beat as a kid but it stopped after his dad passed away three years ago, although his back has over 30 scars. he is almost 17 and his mother is very controlling. she makes his life hell, taking everything away from him for calling me, and tells him he is worthless and she would be better off without him and he was her worst mistake. and it is hurting him mentally. and then there is his uncles, who send him threatening text messages and voice mails, threatening to cause him bodily harm. my boyfriend wants nothing more than to be with me but his mother will not give me a chance. he is in an unhealthy, abusive and unstable environment. and his mom will not let him live alone let alone sign the papers for him to be emancipated. how can i help him become emancipated? my parents have agreed to give him a place to stay and they are willing to help him however they can.

I have a really bad relationship with my mom i am 11 years old and want to be emancipated, what should i do.

Just curious..i wanted to know is it possible to emancipate your children if you just want them to get out on their on sooner. my wife and i would like our two kids (very responsible) to share an apartment close by when they turn 16. we would buy apartment as investment and have kids pay rent. they would have some part-time jobs.

this is a good way to get them independent b4 they go to school. also, if they are emancipated the school will only look at their income for financial aid. we want them to put themselves through school like both of us did (we would still help some)

your thoughts.

I'm 15, i live with my Aunt and her boyfriend of 10 years. We don't have a good relationship, if one at all. I can be talking about the simplest thing and my aunts boyfriend, a recovered alcoholic will start yelling over nothing. My aunt says this is because he is a "dry drunk." Which from what i can gather when you have the rage of an alcoholic but don't drink. I don't live with my mother because she was abusive and an alcoholic. It is better here and people tell me to tough it out all the time. If there isn't anything i can do about not living with them, i will eventually run away, because i just can't stand living here anymore. Im from NJ. Is there any way i can emancipate myself?

I am 17 years old and living under emotional distress. I have been with my father's parents since the age of 7. I don't have a good relationship with my grandpa and it's way worse with my grandma. I wanna be emancipated because I'm constantly getting into it with my grandma. She threatens me. she's constantly putting her hands on me. I'm beginning to believe that she's crazy.

I want to know if I can be emancipated and how I can go about starting the process. If I do it can I do it without my guardians consent if I have. I need to hurry up and get out of this house!

My parents are getting a divorce right now and im excited about it. My dad abused me and my mom let him for 15 years. right now im 15 and im turning 16 in may. My mom says she cant handle me and she would just let the courts take me away from her because im too much to handle and just let me live with my dad. I dont know what else to do. Neither of my parents want me, can i get emancipated?

My child is 18 and living outside the home. She is a high school senior and planning for college. How does she handle college financial education forms. Is she still required to use her parent's income when trying to qualify? If so, this is not fair to her since she is not getting financial support from her parents. Any idea?

I am in the military.

im looking at apartments and such, However i dont know if i am emancipated or not.

Its a nice low income place about 2 miles from my RSP.

i am only 17.

My mother believes i am not emancipated, however i will be calling and talking to my county/RSP.

i was just wondering if you had any information for me.

my mother hits me. today, she punched me 10 times in the arm and i don't know what to do. i wanna emancipate myself really bad. she doesn't care about me. that's the problem. she sometimes does, but she is a lying mother. i hate her. she slaps me if im sick. oh yeah, and she slapped me today. she bosses me around and threatens me daily. she says shes going to take me down to argentina and beat me hard because its not illegal there. what should i do and when can i get emancipated? im on 12, but i just cant deal with this ANY more

i feel unwanted and know i'm not wanted at my mom's house she has kicked me out more then 6 times so far since christmas, and each time she tells people or the police that i've run away but it's not true.

I and my mom do disagree on a daily bases with rules or just situations that makes no sense to me that she wants to cause a ruckus over. I think it will be better if we were separated, because of the fact some people just don't mix. I have been told to tough it out and i do, by not arguing back, because i know she hears but is just not listening to exactly what i'm saying, so i say what's the point, and just let her nag. she tries to fight me but i just push her back it's just not right to fight her i've done it before and felt horrible, but i still love her, but she knows we need our space. i would rather go 2 a boarding school but that just costs too much and even the free ones she doesnt pay attention to we have considered foster, but she probably won't go through with it. we might talk now and then but i still know that we are just not meant to live together. there is a lot of pandemonium between us and it will never change. i would like to get an emancipation so i can move out. i do have a job. when i save up i can pay for any and everything i need.

i just need to know more about getting an emancipation for myself so i can take care of me on my own.

my dad has been calling me every name in the book and is a drug addict. My mom and him have been separated since i was 4 years old. It would be more reasonable for me to live with my mom, but my dad isn't allowing it. I need to know where i can go to get emancipated. And how long it takes.

Is a teen age mother considered an emancipated minor if she has a baby and is raising it?

Allerera,

I was very curious about your post, so I did some research on Twelve Tribes. While everything that is directly from the group sounds like it is a lifestyle-centered approach to Christianity, there are lots of other things written about it that make it sound more like a cult. One of the most tell-tale signs of a cult is that the leaders are in control of the other members' time, money, and other resources. That may be fine for you now, but it will be very difficult to get yourself out later.

On the other hand, I totally understand how you feel. I could not wait to get out of my mom's house, and I would have gone and got my own apartment at 16, had I been able to support myself. My advice to you, in all sincerity, is to tough it out--unless you are being abused. If you are safe, but unhappy, your desire for independence is really good and will serve you well in your life.

You sound like you have some exceptional talents that will serve you well. My best advice is to study and work hard, so that when you're done with high school you'll have lots of options: you can teach skating, go to college, move away, or all three!

Best of luck!

I am 15 years old, will be 16 in January. I am interested in becoming emancipated for a few reasons. I am looking to join the Twelve Tribes communities. Everybody lives in the same house, they work together to support the whole community, and there are no needs unmet. My parents have been separated almost as long as I can remember. I am almost old enough to obtain Coaching Liability Insurance. When I have that, I will begin teaching figure skating for close to $60 an hour. I will also be buying material to make my own clothes, budgeting my food money (buying bulk and cooking, instead of buying more expensive foods), and saving the rest of my money for transportation, rent, utilities, etc. when I am older. If, however, I join the communities, I would not be working for myself, or living by myself. I would be responsible for myself. How would I go about getting emancipated, as t join the Twelve Tribes?

me and my g/f want to get married and we are trying to get her mom to let her. can her p/o not let us see each other or let her live with me??????

I know of 5 children whose mother is a drug addict. Their living conditions are deplorable. The mother receives Social Security because the father committed suicide a few years ago but does not use the money to care for the children. Instead she uses it for drugs. The oldest two are ages 17 and 15. How would they go about becoming emancipated so they can receive their portion of the money to take care of themselves and their three younger siblings? At present a relative, with 4 children of her own, is taking care of the children, but it is putting them in the red and they don't know how long they can do it. They are willing but feeding 9 growing children is expensive. Do they have any options to obtain the children's part of the Social Security to care for the children? The mother has been arrested for drug possession several times -- next court date is Aug. 2nd. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

can my p/o make me live at my house when i turn 18. can the state make me?

im not getting along with my parents very well. im not feeling that im getting enough attention and i no that there is a great possability that i can find my own place 2 live and i have my own income, and bank account. so any ways in ohio how can i get emancapated,how long will it take and what r the requierments. plus my parents are forcing religion on me. and i can take care of myself and do so much better.

can a 20 year old college student become emancipated from me so she can base her fafsa on her income alone?
