How Do you get emancipated with parental permission in Virgnia?

Answer 1

You can't, those states that do have emancipation status set the required minimum age at sixteen. If the circumstances pertain to abuse and/or neglect you should contact your state's social services, generally referred to as Department of Family Services or Child Protective Services, numbers can be found in the "Blue Pages" of your white page phone directory. Or call toll free any of these agencies, National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800784-2433, Youth Emergency Hotline 1-800-899-5437, Youth Crisis Hotline 1-800-448.4463. If you believe yourelf to be in physical danger contact your local police department or 911 for immediate assistance.

Answer 2

I'm 17, I now live in Fl with my older siser. I have agood job and am able to take care of myself. I'm finished with school now. My parents don't have a problem with me not living with them. The only reason I think I shuld get emancipated is because if anything ever happened to me, a doctor couldn't do anything to help me without my parents being there. With them living almost a thousand miles away, that's not very comforting. Anyone know what I would need to do? Would I need to go back to Virginia to get emancipated? If I go back would I just go to the court house to talk to someone there?

Answer 3

They have told you the basics, but it's much more complicated. I live in VA and have read the emancipation laws. Basically, you would have to be allowed by your parents to leave the home and set up your own living arrangements. If you initially leave without this permission than you are a runaway. If you get into trouble during this time, your parents are responsible, and the cops can and will bring you home. Living on your own does not mean just crashing somewhere. You must be paying rent and totally supporting yourself. The judge will want to see a rental agreement in addition to pay stubs showing you are capable of supporting yourself. I didn't follow the last post, but getting pregnant in VA or giving birth does NOT automatically emancipate you, so it's not worth your while, you would then have to show you are supporting two. I do believe that marriage to a legal adult does emancipate you in VA, but your parents will have to give permission if you are under 18. It's much easier to work things out with you parents in the long run. Good luck!
