I'm a 14 year old living in the state of California and I'm looking to become an emancipated minor as soon as possible. My mother was abusive and dcfs took me out of her care and placed me with my alcoholic father and step-mother. I'm pretty used to taking care of myself, and everybody else for that matter, since nobody is ever around. I don't want to go back into foster care and be a ward of the state. I'm actively looking for a job and I've found a place where I can stay where the rent is reasonable so that I may also pay for insurance, groceries, clothes, and etc. from getting paid at minimum wage. I was wondering where I would need to start and what kind of chance I may have. I would greatly appreciate any help!! Thank you.
