Question: What if my parents don't want me to be emancipated?

Answer: If your parents or guardian object the court may send all of you to mediation where you may work out a solution. If you don’t reach an agreement the judge will decide whether to emancipate you or not based on what is in your best interests.

I dont understand people who think they can have children. dont they know that they are responsible for 18 years of there childrens life. whyyyyyyyy. anyway i just keep getting tossed around just like my parents moods. if there not happy then they will find a way to put it on me. when my dad has trouble at work and gets a few days cut im the one being punished. im treated like a stupid dog. when really i should be treated like a growing child. any guidance i have gotten has been from myself for the past 3 years. dads no where in my heart and theres no reason for him to be,
