Hello tory:

If your parents are hurting you physically, call CPS (or whatever they're called in your state). A restraining order won't work!!!!

Is there any possible way to get a restraining order against them? please let me know soon. And what would CPS do to me if i told them about my parents? cause my girlfriends parents said i could live there with them, due to my parents being drunks.
Hello again, tory:

A restraining order won't do it, because it requires them to stay away from you. You can't do that if they're living in the same house as you, so it WON'T be granted.

CPS won't do anything to YOU. If they do anything, it will be to YOUR PARENTS.

But, maybe you don't have to do anything LEGALLY........ just yet.

Move in with your girlfriend. Write a letter to your parents. Send it certified, return receipt requested. Tell them that you COULD have called CPS again on them, but that you want to avoid that kind of drastic measure, and you want to save your parents from having to deal with the legal system again.

However, if they don't agree to the emancipation, YOU WILL.

You said you are filing for emancipation? With who? To get emanicpated, you would need to go thru your local Family and Children's services agency. If you tell them the reason why you are seeking emancipation, they will, most likely, place you in a foster home (or with your g/f) until the case can be resolved. They will provide protection from abuse by your parents.

All this should have been explained to you when you filed (or file) for emancipation.
