how do you become emancipated?

[amandaaa]

hey, my names amanda and i'm 16 years old. i've lived in the house i'm in for almost 7 years now i think. things have been really rough for me and my family off and on all the time. sometimes it would be me and my mom arguing and then other times it would be my youngest sister who's 13 and my mom, lately it's been them. anyways i think it's in my best interest not to live with my mom anymore. her boyfriend and her just broke up last night "because of me". so now we have no place to live and she's blaming everything on me. which it's really not all my fault. i try so hard to do what she wants but she expects too much out of me then just yells and yells and will hit me, and then i'll hit her back and everything will just blow up. i can't really explain the things that go on and i'm kind of embarassed to, but i was just wondering if anyone knows like..what do you have to do to be emancipated. i'm 16 and i'll be a junior in high school next year, i only have a week left tomorrow, i have a job, i plan on still going to school, and i have a place to live where i'll pay for things myself. i don't want to move, it's not in my best interest. i had future plans that involved VA and going to college and now she's just messing up my life like she's done the past 5-7 years. so if anyone knows the rules it'd be so helpful. thanks! <3

This does not beling in criminal law.

There are alot of rules with becoming emanicipated. you have to search for your states guidelines.

Where is your father? Are you able to live with him?

You are old enough to express your views on who you want to live with in court. Is there another relative that can file for temp. custody, or guardianship of you?
