What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Nevada
I am 16 years old and I would like to be emancipated and would like to know if it is likely. I suppose I should just start telling my story. My parents have 50/50 custody due to their divorce which occurred when I was roughly 11 or 12. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada with my mother and my father lives in Idaho with my half-brother so that he can get chemo treatment for his cancer. for the past two years I have moved many, many times due to eviction. My mother tends to not pay her bills on time which results in me occasionally not having access to a telephone or internet. I frequently stay at her various friends houses when my mother doesn't have a place for me to stay. Sometimes I even have to go to Pahrump, a town an hour or so outside of Las Vegas and stay at various friend's houses there. Recently I was enrolled in an online school so that it would be easier for me to get my education while always moving around. But, I frequently don't have internet to do my schoolwork so I have to go elsewhere to do it. My mom also is in jail right now and for the next few days to due warrants from unpaid traffic tickets (and this isn't the first time I don't believe).
I would like to move to Washington (A.S.A.P.). My boyfriend of three years is moving there in two days and his family has a large house and would gladly buy me a plane ticket take me in as soon as I could go there. There I would have a steady place to live, access to a telephone and internet, and they feel like more of a family to me anyways. I am a junior in high school and I would like to graduate but I know that I can't go to school in another state unless I live with a legal guardian or am emancipated (It's not likely that my mom will want to give my boyfriends sister partial custody of me).
I have a Nevada Learners Permit and the only thing that's stopped me from getting my license is completion of a Driver's Education course. I also do not have a job but I am planning on getting one in Washington. The only reason I haven't gotten a job already is because I don't have a Driver's License or my own car (and I would not be able to reply on my mother to get me to work, especially since I'm never staying in the same place around town that would be near where I worked). I have an A-B average in school and have occasionally even gotten straight A's. My teachers all speak extraordinarily highly of me and everyone I know considers me to be very mature for my age.
Also, recently whenever I have lived in a house for an extended period of time, my mother has not even been on the lease. Other people sometimes live with us and their name is on the lease along with mine. This is because my mother has very terrible credit. My mother also has no job. She used to be a Registered Nurse, but lost her license a few years ago for reasons unknown to me.
