Can a minor become emancipated if their parent does not want them to ?

pleaase help only people who have done it or have legal backgrounds and know the law.Can a minor become emancipated if their parent does not want them to ?
To get emancipated, you will need to prove:


1. You are mature enough to manage your own affairs. This is demonstrated by things like a clean criminal record, good grades etc.


2. You can support yourself financially. You will need to show income and anticipated expenses.It is HIGHLY unlikely you have the income to rent an apartment, pay all utilities and put food on your table. You can NOT draw any public assistance if emancipated. The judge can rescind your emancipation if you go on public assistance after being emancipated.


3. That your welfare is better served by not being with your parents. Hating mom's rules will not meet this criteria.


4. That there are no other reasonable solutions to the issues at home.





In the states that actually allow emancipation you will need to be at least 16.





You will need to hire a lawyer to get you though the process.





You would need to file in a court that has jurisdiction over your parents or custodial parent if you do not live with both.





Only about 1 percent of emancipation petitions nationwide are granted.
