Answer #5

You can get emancipated, but only if there is a good reason or the court can deny your request. It would be best to stay with your parents until you’re an adult because times are hard for everyone, especially young people who don’t have everything figured out exactly how its supposed to be. Plus, unless there’s something between you and your parents, they would want you to stay. I mean, if I had a 15 year old I wouldn’t want them to move out so soon.

Answer #13

Emancipation is becoming illegal in many places. Make sure you know your laws before you try anything so you don’t look dumb. :P
