Being granted an "emancipation" from your parents by the state won't automatically make you eligible to receive Federal Student Aid as an independent student.  However, it sounds like you are a good candidate for a Dependency Override, which is an override that only your Financial Aid Office can perform.  \n\nHere's how the override works:\n\nTechnically, you can't be considered independent unless ...\n\n* you are 24 or older\n* you are married\n* you have dependents other than a spouse\n* you are a veteran of the US armed forces\n* you are an orphan or ward of the court\n* you are pursuing an advanced degree\n* you have a prior bachelor's degree\n\nHowever, we all know that there really are cases in which a "technically" dependent student is really independent. There ARE provisions in the Federal Student Aid regulations that allow for a school (not the feds or the student) to make exceptions to a student's depdendency status. Most schools will make exceptions in cases of abuse or the death of the students' parents. Many schools will also make exceptions if you can document that you truly are completely self-suffient. You will need to submit proof that the following statements have been true of your situation for a while (usually about 2 years)... \n\n* your parents don't claim you on their tax return\n* you pay for your own housing, food, utilities, etc.\n* you pay for your own health insurance\n* you pay for your own transportation (and, if you have a car, the car insurance)\n* you don't receive any other in-kind support\n\nIf you think you can submit this information, give your school a call and ask them what their specific policy is. They should have one in place and you have every right to know what it is.\n\nRemember: if you submit fraudulent information your school can deny you aid and you may be subject to other penalties. And remember that covering your tracks doesn't simply stop at your tax return: your school's financial aid office can request just about anything if it believes that it has received conflicting information.\n\nYour school has a reason to be picky when it comes to these things: Financial Aid offices are subject to annual audits. If their auditors pull your file and notice that undocumented exceptions to your dependency status have been made, their ability to give financial aid (to anyone, including you) can be seriously jeopardized.\n\nPlease, don't get married just to be considered "independent" on your FAFSA -- you'd be setting yourself up for failure by cheating the system.  (And -- HELLO! -- you'd be getting *married*.  When did that stop being a life-changing decision?)

I don't think you can unless you've emancipated yourself from your parents. I know I had to either wait to sign all the paperwork and leave after I turned 18, or have my parents sign as my legal guardian. I ended up waiting until about 2 months after my 18th bday to leave for basic. You could technically leave on your birthday though- I think the recruiters can help you with that.

Being emancipated does not make you no longer a minor.  You are a minor until you are 18 whether you are living with your parents, on your own or fully emancipated.  You can do anything any other 17 year old can do.  I don't think any bank would give a 17 year old a mortgage unless there was sufficient income, evidence of employment, and a hefty down payment.  Even then I doubt it.  I am pretty sure that you can get a bank account, but that would depend on the state you are in.  You may need to be 18.  As far as signing legal papers, you cannot be legally bound to a contract until you are 18, emancipation has nothing to do with anything.  You can sign contracts, but people would not be smart to let you because they cannot hold you legally responsible for it until you are 18.

First get your act together. Talk to the people you owe oney to and ask for some grace. Is unemployment an option till you can get a job. Do you have freinds and family that can watch your kids till you get on your feet. \n\nIs there someone you can stay eith till your able to move out on your own?\nYou can do it!

if you become emancipated, you receive no financial aids from the government or parents.  One of the steps to becomming emancipated is proving to the judge that you can legally support yourself financially.

I'm pretty sure parents are legally obligated to provide shelter for their children until they are adults or become emancipated.\n\nSo basically, yes.  Your parents can't charge you rent.  If they refuse you basic shelter, they are not meeting their requirements as a caretaker and you could call the Department of Family Services.

Your question is under the category "Law and Ethics" so legally you can disown your parent, you just have to convince the court that you can live without your parents and you agree that you will never claim any benefit from your parent. The court must be also convinced that you are taking this decision reasonably and knowing all the future consequences.\n\nNow comes the ethical part, your parents are someone who gave you birth and they will continue to love you even if you are separated from them. They may appear harsh to you but your step will be ethically wrong. You are just 19 years of age, although you are an adult but still you are immature to take such extreme decision. I would advice you to reconsider your decision and try to make things work.

The day you turn 18, you can move out. Before that age, you would be considered a runaway. After that age, you are an adult and can make decisions for your own life. Your parents can no longer tell you what to do, but they also don't have to help you out with anything.\n\nWhen you hit 18, your parents responsibility for you ends. You can pack your bags and hit the road, never looking back, if that's what you want. On the reverse side, when you turn 18, your parents can pack your bags, put you out the door, change the locks, and never look back.\n\nWhat I would suggest is trying to talk to your parents and explain the need to establish yourself as an independent person. Be reasonable, be calm, and be respectful. In the end, it is your decision, but you don't want to do irreparable damage to your relationship with your parents.

Listen to your parents and don't go.  They are providing a roof over your head, food in your mouth and clothes on your back. Until you are old enough to move out and get a job -- play by their rules.  It's called RESPECT.

you have to show the state that you are able to support yourself, by showing how much money you can make, and how you are going to school. and show them where you will stay. and so on and so forth. before you can be emancipated. goodluck.

Ohio does not allow the emancipation of minors. To be emancipated, you would have to join one of the armed forces or marry. To avoid school, you could take the GED.

There's no easy answer for this one, unfortunately.  Since you are an adult, it may be in your best interest to remove yourself from the situation, i.e. move out.  \n\nAs for your parent, most drug abusers need to hit bottom before they're willing to get help; telling them what they're doing is wrong usually doesn't help.  You could try an intervention, but I would definitely get a professional involved.  Is there a pastor or a doctor that knows both of you?

Yes it is possible. You can get an emancipation...but you can only do that if you have good reason (i.e. your parents are abusive or drug addicts etc.) If you don't have a good reason then it isn't possible unless your parents decide to sign you over to someone else.

First of all, if your parents don't let you, you can't. You are a minor. You can get emancipated, but that is a long shot in the dark. Frankly, you should listen to your mother. Getting married is NOT the answer. If he loved you to begin with, he wouldn't have gotten you pregnant, asked you to sleep with him, or agreed to sleep with you. It is a respect issue, and he obviously doesn't respect you. You need to respect yourself! Listen to your mom.

I would just pack up and leave. Stay in school and keep working or stay out of trouble. If the parents do try to get her back she can refuse and say no and give the reasons . Tell them you are going through emancipation. You are to old to start any court proceedings because you will be 18 to soon. Keep working ,go to school and stay out of trouble and you won't have any problems. If your parents say come home tell them to shove it .Threaten the parents with the police. As long as you have your act together and are safe no one will bother you. Like Nike says JUST DO IT.
