No. In states where you can seek emancipation by the courts you have to be at least 16 to apply and then be able to support yourself etc. All kids feel one time or another they want to move out. It's a part of growing up and not a reason for the court to emancipate you and leave you to fend for yourself. If you are abused in your home you can contact the CPS or police for help.

How do I legally get out of my parents house and live with a friend's family?

If you are a minor, you would need your parents' permission or involvement of child protective services. If you're an adult, you can leave your parents' house anytime. Living with a friend's family would just require their consent and possibly a written agreement outlining the living arrangements.


Is a 17-year-old considered legally emancipated once she has a child?

No.Pregnancy or having a child does not confer automatic emancipation upon a minor.____________________________________________________________________Emancipation ends the parents' rights to control his or her minor child or to participate in any decision-making about the child. If a child is emancipated, the parents no longer have the right to determine where the child lives or goes to school, or how the child's money is spent. The parent also has no right to the minor's wages or earnings.The emancipated child's parents, in some situations, also would be relieved of certain responsibilities. For example, the parents would no longer be required to pay child support. The parents also would no longer remain responsible for harm that their minor child causes to other people or property. Because the parents no longer are responsible for damages the minor child causes, the minor could be sued personally and held responsible for damages s/he causes.While emancipation relieves both the parent and child from certain obligations, the minor must still follow the law. For instance, even if s/he is emancipated, the child still cannot drive until age 16, and must attend school through his or her 16th birthday. An emancipated minor still cannot vote until age 18, and cannot purchase or consume alcohol until age 21. Also, gaining emancipated status will not allow a minor to remove himself or herself from undesired services of the Department of Social Services.There is no formal procedure in Massachusetts for a child to become emancipated from his/her parents. Most judges will not grant a child emancipated status. However, a child may still file for emancipation in the Probate and Family Court of his or her county despite the lack of a formal procedure. In rare situations where a judge is convinced that emancipation is in the best interest of the minor and that the parents are not using it to get out of paying child support, the judge may grant emancipation.Even if the child cannot be emancipated, s/he still may have options to live elsewhere, and may have independent rights. Remember that a minor does not have to be emancipated in order to receive welfare from the state, to consent to certain medical procedures, or to obtain an abortion. http://www.clcm.org/minors_rights.htmIs a minor emancipated if he or she enlists in the military?In some states, enlisting in the military is enough to allow a minor to make many decisions on his or her own, as an emancipated minor wouldIs a minor emancipated if he or she gets married?In some states marriage is sufficient to allow a minor to make many decisions on his or her own, as an emancipated minor would some states you can get marrie at at 16 if you are a resident of that state it does not count if you live in a state where marrage at 18 and go to a state where you can marrie at 16 the marrage can be null invoidIs a minor emancipated if he or she has a child?In some states if you can finantually take care of your self (have a JOB) then yes, but if you cant then (No) If a minor has a child, he/she can consent to medical treatment for himself/herself and the child, but he or she is not otherwise considered emancipated. read up on your state laws - even if you can take care of your self finantually you may still have to go through legal aid or cps for help!___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What if a minor is pregnant?Unlike marriage, getting pregnant and having children does not mean that a minor is emancipated. The reasoning is that when a minor marries the spouse (rather than the parents) will support the minor. By contrast in most cases, a minor who is pregnant (or recently gave birth) will continue to depend on parents or legal guardians for financial support.In Maryland there are exceptions to this general rule.A pregnant female over age 16 is "emancipated with respect to matters concerning the pregnancy" (In re. Smith 16 Md. App. 209,295, A.2d 238 (1972)). This means that she has the right to control her own decisions about her pregnancy. This includes decisions about pre-natal care and abortion. Another exception would be if a minor moves out of a parent's house and set up housekeeping with the child's father, a friend, or partner. Depending on overall circumstances, this may show that s/he intends to be free from the parent's custody, control and support._________________________________________________________________________


Do you have to live on your own once you emancipate yourself from your parents?

Emancipating yourself from your parents means that you are legally recognized as an adult and can make your own decisions. While living on your own is common for emancipated minors, it is not a requirement. You can choose where to live once you are emancipated based on your individual circumstances and needs.
