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.

my story is not nearly as bad as the rest either but my parents are awful. my dad is a pastor & is a strait up hypicrite, my mom has the worst temper and im scared of her. they never want me to do anything, all they want me to do is stay at my house and i dont want to. i want to live with my sister, i'm always there anyway helping her with her kids and her husband who is quite sick. my parents dont like me over there and there is no reason why. i want to get emancipated and i dont know how.

my story is not as bad as the others, but I still need to get emancipated very badly. my mother is horriable, and my father is afraid of her. she beats me and my sisters, and my father does nothing. she controls every aspect of my life, her dream is to have the perfect children. she says we all have flaws that she will correct. she sees us as projects rather than children. she makes her family seem perfect on the outside but it is horriable. I have called the police twice and gotton beaten for both times. what should i do?

I Know my stories arent nearly as bad as some of the others, but my parents dont let me do anything. i cannot stand being in my house anymore, i feel like im trapped. i would so much love to be emancipated from them, but i dont know how to go about doing that. my father is the biggest alcoholic i have ever met, and he gets abusive too-- i also have a place to live. but how would i do that??
