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'm 16 and my mother and I don't get along at all. We have fights, not the kind with words.

I want to get an emancipation but she won't let me. she doesn't help me at all when I told her that I had been sexually abused for the last 7 years.she just said that she wouldn't let them do it any more. it happen 2 more times after that and I had to report it she didn't want to. A few people say I should get the emancipation, but I don't know where to go to get started. help!
