Q: How do I get emancipated without parental consent?
Im 18 years old and a freshman in college. I have a part time job. I currently do not live with my parent, they live in a different state. My mother was abusive to me when I was younger, but will try to continue verbal abuse over the phone. My father never stopped it or tried to stand up for me or him self. He doesn't really do much but agree with my mother. No matter what I say or do they don't listen so I chose not to talk to them. I do not want them in my life at all.
A: At age 18, you are a legal adult and are emancipated. You can decide what contact you have with your parents.
