Question: Who can apply to be emancipated in Arizona?

Answer: You must be sixteen or seventeen-years-old to apply for emancipation. You have to be a resident of Arizona and be able to prove that you can support yourself. The court will give you information about the risks and consequences of being emancipated as well as your rights and obligations as an emancipated minor. You cannot apply for emancipation if you are a ward of the court or in the custody of a state agency.

I need to be emancipated.. my mother can not and does not support me or my little sister.. I feel the only relief for her.. and me.. would be if i leave.. When I am sick she refuses to take me to a doctor no matter how serius.. this will be the only way for me to survive..
