[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 686950, member: 1963"] First of all, to become emancipated in the courts' eyes, he has to prove that he is able to support himself. I had a bad 2 years at 14-15 yrs of age. Bipolar and hormones all over the place. I was raging, though it never occurred to me to curse, hit my parents, or break things. Lots of screaming. At 15, I was earning enough $$$ and waiting with bated breath to be old enough to drop out of HS, so I could go to work full time. I could've become emancipated by 16 as I could meet the legal criteria. That said, I grew up a lot when I hit 17. Had met the man I knew I was going to marry and we had already sworn "troth" to each other. Made up with my parents, and stayed on until I turned 18 and husband and I became formally engaged and moved in together (much to my parents' disgust) I had been contributing to the household from the time I turned 14 and got my 1st "real" job. When Stu and I found an apartment that would rent to us without a co-signer, my parents presented us with the money from all the years I'd paid rent, and dragged me out shopping with that money to ensure that I properly outfitted our new home. She paid out of pocket for the exterminator to come out and do something about the roaches. [/QUOTE]
