    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.

    My parents have been married for a long time now and me and my mom don't get along at all. My dad will then get mad and will verbaly and (sometimes) physically hurt me. I don't even know if I still love them anymore because it has been going on for so long. I want to be emancipated but I don't really want to live on my own, can I live with a friends family or another adult that will let me live with them? I need to get out now. HELP ME ASAP!!!

    I am fifteen years old, I live with my mom and my 'STEP' DAD and I want to be emancipated to another family because I am always getting into fights with my step dad for stupid reasons.Whenever we get into fights he always chokes me, punches me and cuses at me. I talked to my friends family and they said the way they treat me is not right.would I be emancipated early if the problem is really bad?
