I’ve been trying to emancipate myself, and I don’t know how. Anyone? Can someone help?

I am 15 and will be 16 in 6 days from today and I live in Missouri, I want to know if I can be emancipated or is there another way to move out. I am currently looking for jobs and will be saving up money to buy an apartment and I am homeschooled and I am in the 11th grade and I am looking at college classes online to become a vet. Its not that my dad doesn’t care I know he does but its he favors my sister over me and he treats her like she is the mom and I am the daughter he has ever sense he and my so called “mom” split but I don’t care about the splitting part b/c she beat all my siblings and me as a child and he just sat there and let her do it but know she lives far away and we don’t talk. But I still feel like somethings not right so I want out. How can I go about doing this if so without being emancipated? please help me and give me suggestions.

sameeisbored is right - you need a legitimate reason.

If every kid was granted emancipation just because their parents are too strict, there would be very few kids living under their parent’s roof.

If you are determined enough you can become emancipated just by becoming financially self sufficient. I don’t know where you live, so you should look up the laws in your area on the internet. There is a lot of information available, even on Wikipedia. There are also child advocates or child law centers wherever you live. Either go there, or talk to a guidance counsellor or nurse if you think they will keep it private.

I am so surprised that the people that have answered so far just dismiss your complaints like they are nothing. I have a funny feeling that there is more to your story than “not liking” your school. Good luck.

Legally, emancipation refers to the “removal of some of the disabilities of minority.” What that means is that when a minor becomes emancipated, s/he gets some of the rights of adults: http://www.teenparents.org/emancipation.html

Take care !!
