I Just Wondering How Do I Get Emancipated From My Parents In The State Of Minnesota? :(

How old are you?
Do you have steady, legal income?
Will you be able to keep a roof over your head if you are emancipated?
Will you still be able to finish school while working?
Why do you want to be emancipated?

Greetings and WELCOME to the site, Fat-Fat!

I moved your question out of Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will be more likely to be noticed and addressed by those who are best able to answer it. Your question will get noticed much more here.

Introductions is for people to introduce themselves only, and we try to not ask questions there. We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little bit about yourself, if you would be willing to do that.

I do note, that your question did already receive one response while it was in Introductions.

Thanks!

* Emancipation of a Minor: Emancipation means that a minor has the same legal rights and obligations as an 18-year-old adult. The Minnesota Statutes do not provide either the grounds or a procedure for emancipation. Minnesota case law has established that a minor can be emancipated by a legal marriage or by parental consent. For additional information see, Youth and the Law: A Guide for Legislators, p. 44-45.

Know that judges rarely grant emancipation to minors.

As Justcurious55 pointed out ,you have to prove to the court that you can support yourself and continue with your education.That is the minimum of what you would have to prove.

If you are having problems with your parents,perhaps we can discuss it here and see if there aren't more realistic ways of working things out.

Okay I have a friend that is 15 and has been taking care of her 3 younger siblings since they were born one is 11 one is 5 and the little is is almost 1. She does all the cleaning and cooking. While her mom just sits around the house and smokes pot. She has never had a child hood. The county has been called on the mother a lot but so how she keeps getting them to drop everything. I just don't understand. Is there anything that I can do or she an do to get away from her mom and not go in to foster care??
