The whole point of emancipation is so that your parents have no say in what you do. It depends on where you live however...

Although in some states a minor can become emancipated simply by declaring himself or herself emancipated, in California a minor over the age of 14 has to petition the court and obtain a declaration of emancipation from a judge Ö a complex proceeding.

Some parts of the United States have quite liberal procedures. Louisiana and Puerto Rico, whose legal systems rely heavily on European law, allow parents to confer a limited form of emancipation on their children with very little interference from the judicial system. A number of states or regions such as Illinois and the Virgin Islands also allow an expedited form of emancipation with parental consent, although this legal procedure is only designed for older teenagers.

Ok so i am 15. and i really hate my parents. they have taken everything away from me. and i sit at home and cry. im completely miserable. is there anyway that i could get emancipated?

The best thing for you to do is realize you are a minor and therefore under the care of your parents. You can't be emancipated or free from their authority over you until you are an adult. At the moment they provide food and shelter for you and probably many other things that you 'need'. What is your responsibility? Obey your parents do your best to make them proud of you ( for example do well at school) and glad that they brought you into this world. You should stop feeling sorry for yourself and show some respect for your parents.


When 18 can your parents stop you from moving to Europe or anywhere else?

No, your parents cannot stop you from going anywhere because in most States at the age of 18 you are considered an adult. If your parents may have good reasons why you should not go such as finishing your education then it would be wise to sit down with them and see if you can come to an amicable agreement such as going to Europe for a few months and then finishing your education and if you decide to do this and they agree then be mature enough to keep your promise.

What rights do parents have to stop a child from being emacipatd?

If you live in the US... In some states parents must consent to the emancipation. In other states their consent is not required, but they are served notice of the petition and are given the opportunity to contest it. If they contest it, then the minor better have a darn good reason (which needs to be proven) why emancipation would be in their best interest (ie abuse, neglect, failure to provide the basic necessities of life, etc). And in fact, even if the parents don't contest it, the minor still must have a valid reason. And even if the minor has a valid reason, the court will still deny the petition if the minor doesn't meet all the other requirements for emancipation. Only a *small* percentage of emancipation petitions are approved.
