    printer friendly version

    Question: Is it true once you become pregnant you are emancipated?

    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 can't stand living at home. My parents don't treat me like they treat my brother with respect and undrstanging. I can't stand it anymore. My dad is always in my face, my mom is trying to get him to understand what is going on, but then he starts to blame for the for fact that they are starting to grow apart and I to blame. I want to be emanicipated but I don't know how to deal with it with my parents.
