What are the requirements to become emancipated?

Full question:

I am fifteen years old. My father has a past of abusing my mother and I, yet he does not do it on a regular basis. He displays emotional abuse on a regular basis, severely beats my mother once or twice a year, and sometimes hits me during his fits of anger. He abuses steroids, and has bi polar, and anger problems due to an abusive childhood of his own. Do I have a case to get emancipated, once I turn sixteen?

The Bible emphasizes the importance of love and respect within families. While it does not specifically address abusive parents, it teaches that parents should not provoke their children to anger (Ephesians 6:4). God values justice and compassion, encouraging individuals to seek help and protection from harm. If you are in an abusive situation, it is important to reach out for support and consider your safety.
