I am 16 years old, turning 17 in two months. I live by myself in a room in a house I have rented and am currently on Ontario Works until I finish high school and start a job. I would like to know how to legally empancipate myself from my parents so I may be considered an adult and able to sign documents pretaining to my welfare. I haven't lived with my parents since I was 12 years old but they are still my legal guardians so I was hoping someone could tell me how to get this done.
