Is it possible for me to get emancipated in Iowa at 17? and is there a way the state can help me with money?
I'm 17 years old, I'm not pregnant, and to be honest, I'm scared. My dad kicked me out 6 days after i turned 17, he has kicked me out before because he was drunk and felt like yelling and ordering people around, but this time I do not want to go back. I've been living with random friends and classmates, one or two nights at a time (house hopping). I want to be able to find a way for me to be emancipated, but I simply do not know how at this point. There is someone from my school that had the same situation as me a while back and she got a monthly pay from the state. Can anyone help me figure out how to do that? or am I just going to have to keep doing what I'm doing?
Can I be emancipated after I'm 18?
It is according to what state you live in. Some states even allow emancipation at younger ages than 18. It's up to the laws of your particular state. You should check this out with the nearest main library where you live. They can give you important information, just ask for the reference librarian. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, WHO can be against us? - Romans 8:31 The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19 Peace and God Bless!

How to get emancipated in Arizona, as fast as possible?
I am 15 years of age, turn 16 in a month. My mom is bi polar, my brother has autism and is extreamly violent. I have records of him being put in mental hospitals for trying to stab me on several occasions. My dad was an alcoholic for an extreamly long time, used to beat me to unconsciousness on almost a nightly occasion. I have had brain scans and i have permanent brain damage from it. My dad has broken every rib in my rib cage, and broken my nose 5 times, and it has been reset 5 times, got hospital records for that. I am tired of living in hell. I want out now. My friend has offered me a place to live, i want to be a navy seal when i grow up. Hoping one of my navy seal friends who owns a bar can get me a job as a bus boy or a host or something. I feel my home is unsafe and not a heathly environment for me to live in. Any advice on how to get out of this hell would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Emancipation?
Do you have any other family to take you in? An aunt? Uncle? Cousin? Grandparents? The court is never going to emancipate you unless you have a way to survive. If you do not have someone to take you in, the court is not going to suggest you get a full-time job, after all, you should be in school. What is the situation with your mom? Is it really THAT bad? Nobody gets along with their parents at your age. Trust me on that one. Emancipation is a solution for children that are abused, neglected, and/or are in a dangerous environment. Do any of those reasons apply to you? If so-- if you have experienced what I mentioned above, you need to talk to an adult about this in person. Perhaps a guidance counselor, teacher, or a close family member. If not-- if this is matter of getting on each other's nerves and even your mom being a little too controlling-- it's something you need to wait out. It sucks, I completely understand, and everyone knows the feeling. But if your mom is putting a roof over your head and keeping you safe, be grateful, thankful, and stick it out for 4 more years. Do everything you can to avoid her and avoid confrontation. Eventually, things will start to get better, promise! Best wishes.
Is (trying to) getting emancipated from my parents worth it?
So I've been reading about actors who have been emancipated from their parents so they can work longer hours on a set, which seems like a good way to go because I really want to become an actress and feel I can get more out of being young if I'm able to work as many hours as a result. I've made a list of the reasons why I should and shouldn't do it, and would like anyone who has been emancipated or knows what is entitled to read it and tell me if it's a smart idea. Should Will give me freedom to act longer Be able to make more of my decisions, by myself Can make more money because I can act longer More agencies/casting directors will hire me because I am emancipated Get a running start on becoming an actress Shouldn't Not able to support myself (although I want to live with my parents, I just want to be able to work long hours as an actress should I get any jobs) Want to live with my parents Want to graduate high school and go to college, but won't be able to pay for it Also, I'm not sure I want to quit high school and become a full-time actress. I really wanted to take a path like Emma Watson or Miranda Cosgrove, who were successful actors even though they had tutors, and got accepted to top universities while taking a break from acting Not sure how much independence I would be granted if I were to try and get emancipated Don't want to sever emotional ties with family because of this My parents have been mostly good to me all my life, and most cases of emancipation for actors and for civilians have been about something bad, like spending money or being abusive Now I realize that my cons outweigh my pros, but keep in mind that acting is and has been a top dream of mine forever; since I was a child. I've just never had the resources or support to pursue it as fully as some famous child stars you know today. Some extra information is that I'm 14, african american, and live with my parents and my siblings in an semi-upper middle-class home in Maryland. While my biggest dream is to be a succesful actress, my second-biggest dream is to be a lawyer, which would be the other option if I couldn't get emancipated or chose to put acting aside for a while. And also, because I live in MD, I don't just go to extra jobs and casting calls, as I don't live in a place with a lot of those, like CA or TX.
Can I rent once I'm emancipated?
I am 16 and I live in WA state. I know there are only 2 more years till I turn 18 and am legally an adult, but I honestly don't think I can make it 2 more years, I literally don't know if I can live for 2 more years in this environment. I live with my mom, dad and little sister in a little, shitty apartment and my mom is going to have another child, the apartment is small and there are only 2 rooms and no privacy ever. My mom is very abuse physicality and mentally and she is the source of all my stress. She makes me very mad/depressed and I've thought about and almost attempted suicide because of her, and self hard when it gets bad. I love my dad but he's scared to stand up to my mom and is gone 70% of the day and won't divorce because of my sister and I. My mom is very bipolar and doesn't listen to anyone, spends a lot of my dads money and abuses everyone very harshly verbally, she yells at my 5 year old sister so that she cries all the time, and it makes me want to run away or protect my sister but I can't or my mom will hit/yell at me. I really would love to move out and rent a place of my own, with room mates, or a shitty apartment as long as I'm alone. And my only way out is if I get emancipated, so just wondering, will I be able to rent a place and DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GET EMANCIPATED. I don't want to sound like a typical teenager complaining but I might seriously harm myself soon if I am around my mother any longer. I also can't talk to her about her behavior because she always yells/ hits/ or laughs at me when I try to tell her how I feel.
Does getting pregnant make you automatically an emancipated adult no matter what age you are?
Definitely not! Emancipation as a minor requires a court process. In the US, each state law is different, but it requires a showing of stable housing, a means of support (a job) and more.Getting pregnant as an unmarried teen who has not finished high school automatically makes it harder to do many things like get a college degree, find and keep a well-paid job, find a stable healthy romantic relationship and more. Why? You instantly become less important in your own life. You would be creating a new life and making yourself responsible for it for at least 18 years. If the child is born with special needs, they could require your support and need to live with you for life. Crying babies who won't let you sleep in. Your money will be going for formula and diapers instead of cute clothes or going out. When your classmates head off to college or to get apartments with their first jobs, you will be stuck at home when not working or in school because you will be someone's mother.
