Q: What are the removal or nonage disabilities laws in Florida and can they be initiated without parental consent?
I'm 17 years old have no father, stepfather, guardian or any relatives exept for my mother who is currently in another country. I am a legal resident but have not recieved citizenship yet. I have a 3.9 gpa as a junior in high school and am planning to finish my senior year as a freshmen in college with the early enrollment program. I cannot find a decent job because i am not a legal adult and thus cannot at the moment make enough money to be able to afford rent, utilities and daily necessities, and cannot get married to recieve emancipation for the same reason, since i have no one to sign the consent form, and am currently living with friends since i have no other option. what are the emancipation laws in the state of Florida? Can i file for emancipation myself? How long does the process usually take?
A: You have turned 18 by now, and are automatically emancipated. There is a statute, available online, if you still care to find out. you can also just do an internet search for emancipation in Florida.
