A: In a suit for emancipation of a minor, a parent of the minor must verify the petition. Your attorney will need to ask you questions proving that you are able to support yourself and manage your own financial affairs. You may want to introduce evidence of your job and earnings to show you have sufficient earnings to support yourself, a lease or deed to show you have a place to live, etc. Since you mention it, you will probably want to show you have some means of transportation from where you live to where you work, etc.
