Emancipation.
Could someone please help me with all my questions?! I'm almost completely clueless.
So the law where I live is that you can become emancipated when you're 16. When I turn 16, I want to be emancipated. I live in Maine, so if I were to get emancipated, could I just move back to Florida and buy a place down there or something? Or can you not legally buy an apartment or anything without the parents like co-signing the paperwork? I mean, I do have the money to move down there. I have a trust fund, but that's not legally mine until I'm 18. If I got emancipated, would it still 18? Or 16 when/if I get emancipated?
I pretty much have it planned out. I'd move to Florida, finish the rest of sophmore year, junior and senior years at a high school down there. And buy a place to live down there, if that's possible at my age, and get a job there.

If you become 16 and you're emancipated then move back to Florida you still won't be llegally 18 because it's a different state which will have a different law so it won't count.What's best if you wait until you're eighteen to move there to buy a house there as well I know it's a long time but it will be worth it in the end.Trust me.

As for the trust fund, I think that doesn't have to do with legal custody, just your actual age. But it may be up to the terms of the agreement you made with the bank. You should probably call them for information on that.
