i’ve done a lot of past research on emancipation, i have a good bit until i am 18 so i feel as though emancipation would be faster and it would also take away the $700/month or more child support they are receiving from wherever my father is. usually emancipation here takes just a few months since the courthouse isn’t very utilized. i just have to go to a judge, get myself a free attorney, and prove myself to be financially stable and independent of my family, with a legal way of earning money and the means to provide for all of my own necessities, a show of maturity/capability, and a $300 or so filing fee for the clerk.
