How do I go about emancipating myself?

Question

How do I go about emancipating myself?

Answer 1

Actually, you can not emancipate yourself. At the age of 16 your parents can sign to have you emancipated, if they wish. Or, if you can provide proof as to why you should be emancipated, you can file a civil claim at your local court. Make sure you have money for an attorney. Your parents, most likely, are not going to pay for it. If the judge feels it is the right thing to do then he/she can emancipate you. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

See an attorney.

Answer 3

You need to have a job and be able to support yourself, living on your own, without needing a handout.

Then go to court and file papers requesting an order of emancipation.
