In most situations u must be able to support urself, be out of school, and/or be married. You don't have to be married but in some situation it may help. The older u are the easier it is. It is difficult for a 16 yr old to be amancipated but if u wanna try u must talk to a lawyer. * Illinois does not have emancipation procedures for minors. Nor can a minor retain legal counsel. When legal counsel is needed by a minor person a the court appoints a Guardian Ad Litem.

A minor must be at least 16-years of age to file an emancipation petition (750 ILCS 30/2). Minors who are being subjected to neglect or abuse should contact the Illinois Department of Family and Children's services for assistance. DFCS Hotline 1-800-25-ABUSE or 217-785-1700. http://www.state.il.us/dcfs
