Full question:
I with my sister am going to be filing for an emancipation of a minor, but my sister does not yet live separate from her mother. We are filing this under the advice of legal aid and CPS, in order to remove her from having to live with her mother because of severe emotional abuse. I was told it would be the quickest legal process we could use. My question is: Is it legal for my sister to begin living with me now, or will she have to legally remain at her mother's house? And if so, how can we legally file this petition?
