Would i be an emancipated minior? i dont get along with my mom. and we both go to therapy. i have thought alot about this, and i am sure i want to move. My brothers said ok thats great. and my mom said ok. do i/mom need papers to sign? will my bro be my guardian? what will happen? also my brother and mom dont get along. thnks
Additional info, added Monday July 25 2011, 12:18 am: ***ALSO-if this is not considered emancipation, since i am not legally supporting myslef by living with my brother, what would it be called just moving? How do i go through with it? do i need to go to court? he will support me with a place to live, food. But i will be making money by acting. so what would happen?.

Further complicating your situation is the thought or fact that you will be a child actor.
To be an emancipated minor means going to court and proving to a judge a number of factors as to why you should be emancipated. Your mother can give your brother guardianship over you with the right kind of legal papers.
Working as a child actor brings in a whole new set of circumstances for guardianship responsibilities and schooling requirements. Yes, you will still be required to finish school under your brothers guardianship and working as a child actor.
Being declared an emancipated minor is not a guarantee it is up to a judge to decide. The facts that you don't get along with your mother and you want to move to California to live with your brother; so you can work as an actor may not convince a judge to declare you an emancipated minor.
In any case; if you want to try for being emancipated or just having your mom give your brother guardianship rights your going to need a lawyer. This is not the type of legal work you want to trust with boiler plate forms downloaded from the web.
