If your parents agree to emancipation can you get it easier?

If your parents agree to emancipation, it can make the process smoother. Their agreement can be seen as a sign of readiness for independence, which may strengthen your case for emancipation in court. However, you would still need to meet all legal requirements and prove that emancipation is in your best interest.

How can you be emancipated if your parents will not sign the forms?

You can't. If you live in a state that requires parental consent for emancipation, the court cannot force a minor's parents to agree to the action. In cases of abuse or neglect the state's division of children's protective services will investigate the charges and if it is found necessary the case will be heard by a judge who will decide what if any action should be taken to remove the parents of their rights to the child. When parental rights are terminated the child is placed in the custody of the state and appointed a guardian or placed in a foster home.

If you're a 16-year-old girl and your parents are abusive and are willing to sign emancipation papers can you go live with your 19-year-old boyfriend who has supported you for 3 months?

Even if your parents are willing to allow emancipation, the court still has to approve it. They would require that you be able to fully support yourself, so depending on your boyfriend to provide (even partial) support would not meet that requirement. With that said, if there is abuse, then report it!
