My fiancée and I are having some problems. He wants to be emancipated and he isn't quit sure how. His step father has threatened him on many occasions and now he is threatening me as well. He turns 18 in 3 months. He feels as though if he goes back home that he will be injured or worse. We need help.

By the time he can go through the court process, he will be 18. Will your parents put him up for 3 months?

Scott is right, it will take longer than 3 months even to get your first court hearing, and they would want to see he has a job to pay rent, and more.

In three months he becomes a legal adult. Three months is the middle of May. That is a very short period. How old are you? From the way it sounds he is not living at home right now, so is he living with you or with friends? What kind of threats have been made to him and to you? He can report his step-father to the authorities. You can report his threats made to you.
