im 15 and I herd about emancipation, need to know if I can get emancipated in Arkansas
Hi,
To become emancipated you must file paperwork and go before a judge. You must explain to the judge how you are harmed by benig in your house and how you will financially care for yourself if emancipated.
If the judge grants emancipation you are in effect divorced from your parents. THey cannot be held liable for you, or be forced to provide clothing, shelter, food etc. You are responsible for paying for everything from school books to toothpaste.
