Is emancipation an option for my boyfriend?

My boyfriend has asked me to look in to emancipation for him. He is 17 and will turn 18 on Nov.10. We live in KY and he has been here since he was 5 but now his parents are talking about forcing him to move to CA. I know that Kentucky doesn’t have a way for him to become emancipated but CA does. His grandparents live here and will let him live with them, or my parents said he could live at my house until he finishes his senior year. I know you might be thinking he doesn’t have much time so he should just suck it up and wait until he turns 18. But he makes A’s and B’s his GPA is 3.77 and he wants to go to the University of Louisville. So he doesn’t want to wait until he turns 18 to move back because he doesn’t want his senior year to be broken up between two schools which could affect his grades. And he needs his kees money for Louisville which he may not be able to get if he moves and comes back in November. I will be going to Bellarmine University next year so him wanting to stay isn’t all about me ( which is what his parents believe) he has played on the bullitt east baseball team for 4 years now and doesn’t want to leave his senior year. he also doesn’t want to leave his friends. What do you think? Is emancipation an option?

Answer #1

CALIFORNIA LAW:

Age of Emancipation: “a person under the age of 18 years” - must be applied for and granted by the Court Cal Fam Code § 7002; § 7122 Age of Majority: 18 Cal Fam Code § 7002 Age for Sexual Consent: 18 Cal Pen Code § 261.5

Answer #2

Emancipation is about growing up and proving that you are responsible adult who can take care of him or herself.

So by having you look into this for him, he’s proving right there that he is NOT able or willing to take responsibility for himself right there. Isnt that obvious to you? I mean, if a guy came to me and said, “hey, I want to look into getting emancipated, check into that for me, woudl ya?” I’d laugh in his face. That’s HIS JOB. Not yours!

Why would his parents want him to move to California? Of all people, parents want the best for their children–there is more to this story that you don’t know or are not sharing. No parent would do this if not for a very good reason.

Dump this guy, stay out of this, this is not appropriate for you to be involved with. Mind your own education and business and tell your boyfriend that it is not your job to investigate his options for him. Becoming an adult, a man–means that he must deteimine what his choices are for himself. Get away from this kid. Quick.

Hmm…I don’t really know anything about that since I never had to worry about it.

Now I could be wrong, but somebody told me that once you are 17 i think you can do that. I know as far as the law goes you are considered an adult at age 17 (arrrested at age 16, juvenile, 17, prison).

As to where you can find information about that in your area…hmm…I have no idea, i would type in google something along the lines of ‘’emancipation info Kentucky” even throw i the city

Sorry I cant be a bigger help
