    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.

    I live with both my parents but we fight 24/7 its lead me to drugs, smoking, depression and drinking. I am sick of getting treated like i was 5. I have been hit by both my parents with in the last year and i am sick of it. If only others saw the other side of my parents they would understand. I am an independent peorson and would be much happier living with family or on my own.

    My home life is very unhealthy. My parents are normally drunk or gone most of the time. When they are home, my mother calls me names and hits me for no apparent reason. They are always telling me that they can't wait until I am gone and they never have to see my face again yet they will not let me leave. I have been diagnosed with depression and nothing has changed or been done to help me with it. My grandparents fear that I won't be able to stand living there much longer. I need help.
