emmancipation..
is it possible for a 14 year old to support herself?
i could take trax to school and my grandpa said he would pay for my books, etc.
if i got parental consent i can work at a library, or coldstone, or lagoon or something when i turn 14..
i just fight with my mom too much and my dad cant really support me so yeah..
dont tell me to get counselors. we have 3.
but anyways, if your emmancipated do you have to pay for insurance or do ur parents have to until you are 18?
and if its possible, who do i talk to about getting emmancipated and how do i do it?

From Rules of Emancipation [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
There are 3 ways to get emancipated:
1. Get married. You need permission from your parents and the court.
2. Join the armed forces. You need permission from your parents, and the armed forces must accept you.
3. Get a declaration of emancipation from a judge. To get a declaration of emancipation, you have to prove ALL of these things:
* You are at least 14 years old.
* You don't want to live with your parents. Your parents don't mind if you move out.
* You can handle your own money.
* You have a legal way to make money.
* Emancipation would be good for you.
If you want insurance you have to pay for it.
Parents pay for nothing. You have to be able
to prove you can hold down a job ...Be aware
that most places will not hire a 14 year old
because their insurance companies won't allow
it. You have to show you can pay rent, electric,
water,groceries & other utilities.
You need a lawyer to make sure it is done properly.

all i know is that you have to tlk to an attourney or lawyer or something, and you will go to court, and i think thats how they do it. and your parents have to pay some funds towards your living etc. thats all based on the simpsons, so im not sure if its 100% accurate. :)

Hey,
Emancipation is only allowed under extenuating circumstances. It is often in cases of severe abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, financial, neglect, etc) and where the court is confident that the child is capable of supporting oneself.
Usually, the minor is placed in a foster care facility. You must be aware the emancipation is extremely uncommon and from what you have stated (please keep in mind that this is only based on what you've said, I do not know the full story), it seems as though there is no grounds for an emancipation to be eligible. In regards to your question, if you are emancipated, you are legal considered an adult with your parents having no legal control over you. This means there would be no financial support. Insurance is not a legal requirement, you choose to pay it. If things are tough, why don't you try staying with your grandfather for a week or two? This will allow you and your parents a break from each other to cool down and think things over. Things can be tough with your parents, don't worry Hun, it does get better - hang in there.
Good luck! =]
