    printer friendly version

    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 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?
