I need to know if I can be emancipated.
My biological father gave the rights of me over to my step father when I was little. My step father murdered my mother and now I am living with my grandparents and they currently have custody over me. I know am 15 right now but I am asking when I turn 16 and have a legal job and have someone I can roommate while paying rent and still am attending school can I get emancipated on the terms of abuse. My grandfather does put his hands on me and does leave contusions (bruises) on me. Of course I'm not a little boy and I'm not winning to momma because it hurts I was raised being abused by not only by my step father. But what are my chances of being emancipated giving I am being abused? And would I have to press charges to get emancipated? And would the court appoint me a free attorney if needed?

If you are being abused, call child protective services and you will be placed in foster care.

No, the taxpayers will not provide you an attorney so that you can become emancipated and, statistically speaking, become a burden on the state.

On the very rare occasions that emancipation is granted, it is granted on the basis of the minor's proven record of self-support. Without that, no reason is good enough for emancipation.

This known information but I'm talking about emancipation


Emancipation by reason of ill treatment.

The minor may be emancipated against the will of his father and mother, when they ill treat him excessively, refuse him support, or give him corrupt examples.
Title 8, Chap. 2, Sec. 2, Art. 368.

This does not help me with emancipation at all

You noticed that, did you?

Here is a hint... the government will do everything in it's power to prevent, delay and/or roadblock your emancipation... because it is usually a really bad idea.

Have you called child protective services yet about the abuse? Why not?

You STILL need to show that that you are "capable of managing your own affairs" which translates to being able to pay 100% of your own rent (the market rate, not a token rate charged by a family member or friend); food; clothing; utilities; medical care; transportation; insurance; school fees and supplies; and all the other incidentals of life, while simultaneously going to school and getting better than average grades.

In other words, you need to prove to the satisfaction of the judge, who will not want to be convinced, that no matter what happens you will be able to support yourself without needing help from the taxpayers. Even if you are taken in by a friend or family member, emancipation will NOT happen unless you are able to prove to that same judge, who again will be very hard to convince, that if that friend or family member kicks you out, or is hit by a bus, or is transferred to New Zealand and cannot/will not take you along, that you will be able to support yourself.

You don't get to just read the parts of the law you like and ignore the other parts.

So, where is your budget showing your income, your expenses, how your income covers your expenses, and how you will continue to stay in school and keep your grades up while still maintaining that income?
