I am a 16 years old and I live in North Carolina. I have an 11 month old daughter. I go to high school, take college classes and work as many as 5 nights a week. My parents are divorced and I live with my mom. We do not see eye to eye on most things but I am not looking to bash her. I am looking for independence from her in ways of being capable of signing my own paper work as a minor without her consent and possibly moving out after high school. The only problem is that I will not be 18 when I graduate. I am wondering if emancipation would be ideal for me or even if the process is worth it.
