If this is for real you must call the police! Legally you must be 16 years old to be emancipated, but foster care will surley be better than that.

But what ive heard it doesnt matter what age you are. You get emancipated at any age. I live with my father and i really dont want to be around my mother.

have you told your father. This is really a serious thing, your mother should be in jail let alone aloud to see you and your brother.

Have you checked out all your options? Emancipation is not the only one. That way if it don’t work for some reason, you’ll have others to pursue.

ok, so you live with your father, and your mother dosn’t have visitation, so when do you see her. Maybe you could just stay away from her.

thats a good start, it dosn’t seem like you need to be emancipated, just that your mother needs to loose all her rights. Your Dad probably already has a laywer, if not you should all go to a family laywer. They probably won’t charge just to go in and talk about it. look here, this might help you and your dad and brother

I don’t know, when I look it all up, it tells me you have to be 16 to do it, but like felicity said there are other options to keep her away from you. good luck to you, I hope everything works out. I hope your mother goes to jail for the things she has done.

Sorry, I had to leave 4 a while. What other options? What about a restraining order. I hear it’s low cost to file for it at the courthouse. Has your father done this yet? To get emancipated,I would try to get a lawyer,if $ is a problem,there are resources.oh, I think I got it, put in your browser Attorney/questions/online. If $ is a issue , add /free.Try that and get back here.We’ll find something.
