Oh no... You're a big girl and you can take care of yourself. I bet you can't wait till they die. Just think how great that will be. Once they're dead you won't have to listen to them anymore and think how great that will be.Do i need a parent with me at the court when im emancipated?
Depending on your state of residence you might need to show proof that you can support yourself and have a plan for living on your own in order to be emancipated. The courts need to see that you will not be a burden on the social services system, or become a vagrant on the streets.
It would be unreasonable for the court to expect you to have your parents with you, but nothing says the court has to be reasonable. You should go to an attorney in your area that specializes in family law and ask questions. Sometimes the first thirty minute appointment is free.
If you ';don't wanna live with'; your parents anymore for a valid reason, and have a good plan, the attorney will either help you or refer you to some other attorney to help you.
If the parents are just being more strict than you like and not letting you do your own thing, maybe you will have to bite the bullet and knuckle under for another two years until you finish high school.
Good luck.
I'm pretty sure you need a parent to be there, yes. You need them to sign away their rights to you or something like that. But 16 is a little young to be emancipated, the court will probably deny your request.
