This differ between states but in general you have to be 16 to apply and you have to have a income and a place to live. You can not be relying on someone else but take of yourself like an adult. There are more requirements but it differs as I said. If you also are close to the legal age in your state and is abused they can allow it even if you don't fill all the requirements.
There is no emancipation statute in Missouri, so it would be pretty difficult to convince a judge that he should allow you to be considered an adult.
If the teen presents a valid case to the judge as to why he/she wants to be declared emancipated, and if the judge feels the teen is mature or old enough to be declared emancipated, then the judge will sometimes grant the request. Some examples of valid reasons would be: if the teen is from an abusive home, or if his/her parents are drug addicts, and if the teen has proven he/she can support and provide for themself, and conduct themself in a responsible manner, then the judge may rule in favor of the request for emancipation. But, you would have to prove the reason for your request; you can't just "say" your parents are abusive, or drug addicts, and not be able to prove it. Otherwise, teens all over the country who get angry at their parents would be slinging all sorts of false allegations. Legitimate cases can sometimes be proven with credible witnesses, especially if the witnesses are adults who have seen that behavior of the parents.
Examples:Depending on your circumstances, you might want to rent rather than buy.The circumstances surrounding his disappearance were unusual.In his circumstances, I would have chosen to do the same thing.Considering the circumstances of the situation, we had to make a brash decision.
Legally, emancipation would be required before the age of 18.
In order to get a stay of sentence while waiting for an appeal, you would have to speak to a lawyer about it. The lawyer can file for one but it will be up to a judge to grant it.
No. The minimum age for emancipation in the few US states that allow the action is 16. In no state would a judge grant emancipation to a minor on the grounds that he or she did not get along with their parents.
No, the age of emancipation in the US is 18 years old. If there are extenuating circumstances, permission would have to be granted by court order.No, the age of emancipation in the US is 18 years old.

It depends on the state and the situation. If you are being abused, they will probably place you in foster care to keep you safe and properly taken care of.
No doubt it would be viewed by the judge as a positive, however, you'd still have to meet all the other requirements for emancipation. Check the laws of your specific state for information about the emancipation process/requirements. Be aware that not all states have an emancipation statute.
The purpose of emancipation is to allow a mature teenager to live *on their own*. No judge is going to grant emancipation to a 16-year-old for the purpose of moving in with her boyfriend. If you meet the emancipation requirements for your state, then you could possibly be granted emancipation. One of the things, among many others, that you would be required to prove to the court is that you have the ability to fully support yourself, which means paying for rent, utilities, groceries, etc. ALL of these bills, not half. There's a very good reason the courts require this--if you have a 'roommate' who you depend on to pay half of the bills and 6 months down the road that roommate moves out, then what are you going to do? Also, be aware that even if emancipation is granted, an order of emancipation is not necessarily permanent. If your circumstances change (ie you're no longer able to fully support yourself), then it can be rescinded. NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In that type of court hearing the judge would decide what affect a parent contesting the emancipation of the minor would have upon the case. In many of the states that allow early emancipation, the minor must have parental permission before filing or hearing the petition, therefore depending on the state where you reside, the issue might not be relevant.
Parental consent is not a requirement for emancipation in Oregon, but it is a factor that the court considers when deciding rather or not to grant emancipation. You would have to prove to the court that there is a legitimate reason that emancipation is truly in your best interest.
No judge in their right mind would grant it.
The judge has the option of dismissing the case, but they usually defer to the prosecutor and grant another hearing so that the prosecutor (or law enforcement) can look into why the complainant failed to show.
You would have to go before a judge and plead your case why emancipation would be better for you than living with your parents.
I don't think there is anything you can do. I doubt a judge would let a minor who is not old enough to even get emancipated, grant her emancipation so she can live with her boyfriend. Legally you are not even allowed to have sex and I don't think the judge would think for a minute that the 2 of you are not doing it while living together. Emancipation means paying your own bills and live like an adult. Moving in with someone elses fasmily and live on them is not what a adult would do. If the relationship ended you could not afford a place of your own.
