I’m 16, I’ll be 17 in few months. I’m trying to get away from my mother and go on my own, I looked into emancipation.

Question

I need more information into it, such as if I take it to court what do I need to prove I can be emancipated. I work almost 40 hrs a week at my job just to pay bills for my mother, such as water bill, car insurance for all cars, electric bill sometimes ( my uncle pays it mostly) I pay for a bedroom suit so I have a place to sleep and my own phone bill. She will say things like “I’m packing my stuff and moving out you all can have this place” and “I don’t want to be here I don’t want to be living” I do have messages to prove the way she acts and people to back me up on what I just said. I just need information on how I can get away from her legally. My boyfriends who has been my boyfriend for 4 yrs parents want to take me in but I need Information on that as well.

A: You’ll need to seek emancipation in the district court of the county in which you reside. Check with the district clerk and they can tell you how the judge in your county handles them.
