If I'm an going to be turning 16 in July, can I be emancipated from my parents? I have recently moved to Texas from Florida, but my boyfriend is still living in Florida, he is 18, but we have been dating for Four years. I do not want to wait 3 more years to be with the person I love, so am i able to be emancipated? I have a job, I attend school, and I am making good grades, so what would it take? I am currently in Texas.
