How to win an emancipation case?
I hate living with my parents. It's awful. I would ether die than live with them. The only thing I love in this house is the dog. I want to live for the sake of my happiness and sanity. I've been looking into emancipation, I just want to be sure I will the case. If I don't things will just get worse. Yes, I love my parents but only because they're my parents. No, they don't physically abuse me but, my father has threatened to choke me for stupid mistakes on more than one occasion. I'm just not happy. I'm also, emotionally abuse and drained from them. They just can't accept that, I'm a 15 year old girl and I'm going to make mistakes. They treat me like the devil every time I make one. I just need to leave. Someone help me out here.
Can you get on section 8 if you are emancipated?
No. Being capable of financially supporting yourself with no help from the taxpayers or anyone else is a primary requirement for emancipation. Richard
Would emancipating myself qualify me for more financial aid in college?
So are you saying your parents are unfit and you will go to a court of law to declare this? Are you homeless or have been in a youth shelter? Will they be prosecuted for neglect or abuse? All these things may be considered by the court. Some states will require you to be self supporting. Consult the laws of your state or contact a children’s law center as this is serious business. If you just don’t like the rules and they are not reasonable that may be considered. Think about where you will live if you go this route.FAFSA information you have to provide in order to apply for financial aid is based on the parents income and assets until the student is 24 (also the student income and assets). Unless the student is independent and there are several circumstances that qualify the student to be independent and emancipated minor is one of those.Dependency StatusSo for federal aid, this may mean the student is eligible for a Pell Grant (max $5,920 per year.) It depends on your own income and assets. But maybe you eligible are anyway, I don’t know your family income. This would also increase the amount of loan you can take from 5,500 freshman year to 9,500 and similar increase each year after.Whether you will get anything else depends on the college. Most colleges don’t meet full need of students so may not give you anything, or just a bit of their own aid. Just because you qualify for aid doesn’t mean you will get it. Then it may be hard to pay for college without your parent’s help. While some colleges are very generous, those are usually hard to get admitted to. Possibly your state college is generous.
How do I become emancipated?
Here's my situation in its entirety. I want to attend Colorado State University in Fort Collins. However, I'm currently at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, so I'm considered an out of state transfer student to CSU. The problem is that to attend CSU I need thirty-six thousand dollars, which is impossible for me to rally up using any method. To get around that hefty price for an education I wanted to move to Fort Collins this August and live there for 12 months so I can be eligible for in-state cost of attendance next year. The only problem is that I need to be either married, twenty-two, a graduate student, or emancipated before I can begin the 12 month domicile period. Emancipation is the only feasible option of these. I turn 19 in about 4 weeks. I asked this question once before and the answers suggest that it's necessary I tell you that. The school website tells me this about emancipation: Emancipation must be proven in the following way: Parents or other individuals must no longer support the minor and make no provision for support. Support includes gifts, trust funds, loans, and assets established by parents or someone other than yourself on your behalf. Parents must no longer claim the minor on their federal and state income tax returns. The minor must document that they are independently able to meet all financial obligations without any financial help from any other individual. Does this mean I just need to meet these three requirements to be considered emancipated? Or is there an actual legal process that financially separates me from my parents?
Will I become emancipated?
I live in Missouri and I've already looked at all the laws behind it and I want to know if my case is good enough for the judge to actually consider and allow me to become an adult. I am 17 years old and I'm attending an amazing highschool with great STEM programs. I want to go to S&T for comp science and it's one of the best in the world for stem. My father is being stationed to El Paso Texas. I asked my mom if I could stay with a friend and both my parents said no. I have been attending this school district since 6th grade and I am a junior and I won't get to start or finish off my senior year. The problem is, I need to go to S&T and my parents have already made it clear that they won't sign on any loans, and they won't help me pay it off. Going out of state will more than double my tuition. I already have a friend that said I can stay at his familys house and I have a job so I can pay rent. My mom will not give me consent to become emancipated so I'm going to have to go through a court order. Do I have a case? Do you think I can win? I don't want to leave my family and I love them. But my dad made it clear he wants to get this promotion and I'm ok with that. I've moved around my whole entire life. And I get here and plan my life out because I was told I'd graduate here. Only to get to my junior year, having all of my plans almost finalized, and now I'm told I have to give them up? I'm tired of moving and I know moving to El Paso is not in my best interest. THANKS
How can I get emancipated in Delaware (at 15)?
Delaware Legal Ages Laws - FindLawThere is no specific statute for emancipation of a minor in this state, so the information I found says that Delaware decides these emancipation petitions on a case by case basis in court. Two of the main points that will be problematic for many teens are that they must be residing separately from parents and self-supporting financially. You have a third problem as most states require a teen be at least age sixteen, and without a statute for guidance a judge will be deciding based in the facts specific to your situation.Simply saying that there is abuse in the home apparently didn't work for one female in a case that I saw from 1999. She alleged sexual abuse by a close relative and that her parents knew and failed to protect her. Emancipation was denied, but the court ordered other measures that were not specified but presumably involved police and family services. It looked as though she ended up in the state system instead of on her own as she had hoped.StateI'm a lawyer but not your lawyer. This is not legal advice. If you require legal advice, please consult a licensed attorney in your state.
Emancipated minors and homeschooling?
If you are emancipated, part of the agreement is to continue your education. You can get ADDITIONAL education, but you need to go to school or have a tutor. If you can't be in your regular school, then transfer to another one. Failure to continue your education will mean that your emancipation will be revoked.

I am 22 years but want to become emancipated so that I can get more financial aid for...?
You cannot really become "emancipated." The FAFSA considers emancipated minors as independent students, yes, but that refers to kids under 18 who are separated legally from their parents. As a 22 year old, you wouldn't be classified as that. It is frustrating, because one would think that at your age, you're independent and "emancipated" naturally. The fact is, you may very well be independent for tax filing purposes or for state residency purposes, but for financial aid purposes, the criteria is very strict. You are considered dependent - and are required to include your parents' info - unless you meet one of the following: are 24 years old are married have children or dependents are a graduate of a bachelor's program are a veteran or currently in the military are an orphan/ward/under guardianship The whole thing is very unfair, as many other students will agree, but unfortunately, it is the way it is.
