I am 16 years old as of March 2014, and I have a few questions about emancipation and my chances of getting emancipated.
My mother died when I was young, so until about 12 years old I raised myself. I lived with family members and sometimes my father from the age of 3-12. My father was an alcoholic so I raised myself, and I am very independent.
4 Years ago my dad got married to my stepmom. Ever since there has been problems at home. I don't get along with my stepmom at all. I want to get an emancipation due to emotional stress, and the negative effect that my living arrangements have on my grades and my college prospects.
I have been threatened to be kicked out of the house numerous times, and my father has threatened me with physical violence stating that "If you don't live my rules there will be serious consequences, and Im not scared of going to jail for beating your ass". I am constantly going through emotional stess with many ups and downs. When my father gets mad he often calls me "stupid", "retarded", and he tells me that I will end up getting pregnant and living off of welfare, and other negtive things. My self-esteem has been a problem due to my father's outbursts of verbal rage.
My father has banned be from sports, clubs, tutoring, and access to the computer at home. All of this negatively effects my grades in my AP college level classes, and my college applications.
I honestly think I am better off on my own, or living with a relative. My father gets checks from the gov. in my name due to medical malpractice which caused my mother's death. I dont know if upon emancipation I would still receive the checks, but I do know that when I turn 18 I have money set aside. If I get emancipated could I use this as a plan for paying financial responsibilities? I can also do freelance writing. I have done it in the past, and I can increase my workload to support myself, especially since I will be able to sign non-disclosure contracts. As a back-up plan, my aunt has told me I can live with her.
Do I have a good chance of emancipation?
