I am looking to get emancipated in a few months right before I turn 17. I am starting college fall 2010 and this will link into why I am wanting/needing to get emancipated. My parents were actually the ones who proposed this to me, knowing without getting emancipated could hurt my changes of finishing and succeding in college. I live 30 miles from where I will be going to college. It is going to cost alot in gas plus I will need a car(bus doesnt come near where I live) Our thoughts were if I get emancipated I could get an apartment and walk to college and then ride the bus to work. Plus I live with both my parents, my 12 year old sister, 19 year old brother, and a friend of my dads. In a 2 bedroom house. Therefor I would not have anywhere to "get away" to study and do college work. I have my g.e.d. and did extreamly well on the tests. I have always done well in school. I have a part-time job. Since I will be going to college I can not work full time. I am recieving the pell grant and student need grant. for a total of 2,000 a quarter. Tuition is 1025. I could receive more if I didn't live with my parents. I have health insurance through DSHS and also am fed off Food stamps. My mom doesn't work and my dad only makes 14,000 a year. I have both my parents complete consent. Letters from my work, my boyfriend of 2 years, and his father. What do you think my chances are of becoming imancipated? I would be making about 800 a month. plus 325 after college expenses from the pell grant. I would be qualified for DSHS food and health still. I have been living off that my entire life. And Comunity Action and HUD would help with rent expenses. I would only pay 30%. About 270 a month. I could definatly live better then I am with my parents and then I would also be able to succed in college. What are my chances?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
