How Hard Is It To Get A Legal Emancipation?

Question

I have been dealing with physical and emotional abuse for a year now and I can not take it anymore. I'm only 16 but I know this will help me live a better life. How hard is it?

Answer 1

if you are dealing with abuse, simply go to the nearest police dept and ask for child protective services.  They can place you in a safe home.  The process you are looking to go through is EXTREMELY difficult, and LONG- you'd probably be 18 by the time it was over, and this is NOT the best way to go if you are TRULY being abused.  

Answer 2

It's pretty difficult, and not all states have a mechanism for emancipation.

The states that do, YOU need to prove that you can live as an adult would - meaning you have a job and can support yourself. And you don't need anyone to support you. Do you have a job?A Car? A place to live? Money? Remember, the burden of proof is on YOU to show the court that you can manage on your own.
