Less than a year ago, just after I'd turned 18, I moved out of my mom's house to stay with my friend and his family. They didn't charge me rent and were willing to let me stay there as long as I needed, I'm still there now.
My 17 year old brother also wants to move in with us, but my mom doesn't give him permission. He wants to get emancipated so he can move in here, but he obviously doesn't have parental permission for that either (my mom is the custodial parent). The emancipation form in Marion County, Oregon, says that the Court takes into consideration the following factors:
The second factor sounds like it's meant to deal with minors who plan to move out by themselves with no adult, but would the Court take into consideration the fact that he wants to move in with a stable family?
How would he "demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Court" that he can manage his own affairs without parental assistance?
The form also talks about how it matters whether the emancipation would be "beneficial to the minor." Will they listen to my brother saying that it would be beneficial to him, or to my mom saying that it wouldn't be, or will they decide for themselves based on the circumstances?

The emancipation form in Marion County, Oregon, says that the Court takes into consideration the following factors:
- Whether the parent of the minor consents to the proposed emancipation
- Whether the minor has been living away from the family home and is substantially able to be self-maintained and self-supported without parental guidance and supervision
- Whether the minor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Court that the minor is sufficiently mature and knowledgeable to manage the minor's affairs without parental assistance
