I want to get emancipated and I'm 16.

[guestpost]

I know some people don't think it's a good idea, but there is no way I can live with my mom at this time she has now room for me. I live with my father currently, but I can't handle that much longer I get screamed at all the time, his girlfriend tries to fight me, and I just feel like a terrible person. I just have to get out.

I don't see it. First off in Fl. the parents have to file the petition. Can you support yourself completely without the help of anyone?

Unless BOTH your parents are willing to sign the petition AND you can pay 100% of what it costs to support yourself (that means rent, food, clothing, utilities, transportation, insurance, medical care, staples, school fees and supplies, etc) AND can support yourself while continuing to get better than average grades, emancipation is not going to happen.
