My girlfriend needs out of her house, and badly, but her parents won't let her move out. I just started researching, but I could really use any advice on the subject....
On 07/05/06 Kristy from AZ said: I am 16 and I want to get emancipated. I don't know if iI have a good enough reason or not. I have health issues, I have seizures.I become incoherent and pass out. My mom will not take me to the doctor, because we dont have insurance. She is also an acholic. I have a job and a place to live is that a good enough reason?
